  1. If any population is alive to the possibilities of tactical voting, it’s the Scots. I live just south of the constituency you speak of, with our eldest daughter living there. The vastness of the tactical voting campaign has reached the ears and eyes of everyone up here. And it has provided voters with a rational response to the corruption of both the Tories AND the SNP. Where the Tories are not an issue in Scotland, the SNP is far more vulnerable to Labour. But on the east coast, where the Tories have done pretty well, traditionally, people have never had a stronger reason to vote for the leading opponent, SNP. I have cast my tactical vote, against the Tories and for a party I do not believe in, but which I do believe will spend the next parliament cleaning out its stalls. They do have many excellent policies, but I am a unionist at heart. Could I be anything other, as an Englishman living in Scotland, with a Scottish wife? We have every reason to expect vast improvements in the probity of the SNP in the future as they have to accept that it is the stink of corruption that has done them the most harm of late. Yet they remain the main opponent to beat the cons in my constituency.

  3.  @bigkdog5091  : I see neither your, ahem . . . “point,” nor why you have such an unjustified sense of grievance against a total stranger about whom you, “know,” nothing? Your name suggests you’re a troll, or an algorithm, but I try to give the benefit where I can. Maybe take a chill pill with your next bottle of Gaffer Gamgee’s ale, while I light up a pipe of Old Toby and blow you some smoke rings, huh?
