I can’t see any mention of stopthetories.vote in that discussion though so perhaps it’s better than the others, at the very least it appears to give the poll data so there’s some transparency there
So your evidence for this is a conspiracy theory on a lib dem subreddit? Do you have any actual evidence that this is a thing that happens because I know for a fact that the website is grassroots is not run by Labour. It’s all about holding the Tories to account not getting Labour in.
It’s all about holding the Tories to account not getting Labour in.
Under FPTP there is no way to do one without the other. As others have said. Its a reality bias. FPTP will always lead to a 2 party system. Honestly the current UK system is way better then most. And shows how darn stubborn UK voters can be. As the maths very rarely works for voting outside the 2 largest parties. Without giving an advantage to what each voter considers the larger evil.
The only reason tactical voting sites like this exist. Is to try and minimise the harm 3rd party voting can do to non Tory voters. By informing them of constituencies where those parties are actually likely to win.
People complaining about bias. Truly fail to understand the point of tactical voting. As a non biased system would not need it to prevent spiting of opposition votes.
What gave you that idea?

Not OP and basically agree with you.
But honestly.
