The http://votethemoutmay22.org.uk/how-to-vote/ website has finally been updated with some suggestions of how to vote tactically to try to oust Labour. Contrary to some earlier comments, it isn't entirely pro-Conservatives.


I am a few yards into the Rye Lane ward, where Labour got 80% of the vote last time around. I can't see them being toppled this time with that kind of majority. That's probably why they put the least effective councillors in this ward, who you only hear from at election time.


There's a full breakdown of 2018 results here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Southwark_London_Borough_Council_election I'd say that, unless Conservatives are a very close second, voting for them could be a waste as I can't imagine their popularity increasing in the current circumstances. Lib Dems always seem to do well on a local basis (and deserve to, in my experience) and also when voters are looking to send a sign to their usual party. So my guess is that they would be best placed to take some of the closer seats.


Dulwich Village was very close 2nd place for Lib Dems / Conservatives last time around. The anti-Labour vote risks being split between the anti-LTN Conservatives and the anti-Conservative LibDems.


Would be lovely to end the Southwark dictatorship and get a bit more balance on the Council but I don't think any of the opposition is strong enough, sadly.

I think this is a worthy approach - I took a similar approach in the last GE as only one of the main (i.e. not Legalise Cannabis Now or whatever) candidates lived in the constituency. Can't remember if it was Green or LibDems now. Fat lot of good it did us though.

    • Even with this quote from the article? 'First and foremost, the music across its three days is curated with admirable care.'      
    • We’l be getting our annual building work done soon (roof ridge tiles redone and the chimney stacks repointed). Mrs Bob says she’ll liaise with the builders and that I should get out from the house so I don’t bother them with inanities. So I’ll be off camping to the Fort again for the Summer - June, July, August, whilst they get on with it. I’ll be in my Decathlon Arpenaz 4.1 fresh and black tent. I’ll have a campfire every Friday night like I usually do.
