Tribal voters are a dying breed
More and more voters in the UK say that more than one political party appeals to their choices and needs. Less than five people say that there is only one party that comes close to what their views are and that they don't agree with any of the other parties' views.Many people vote for their second choice to be tactical, that is called alternitave voting. That is not a perfect elocarol system, but it will make politics more competitive and politicians will be challenged to appeal to a wider section of society. Alternative voting will not lead to a permanent coalition or help the Liberal Democrates.

Vote for what you really believe in.
I think it is very stupid to be a tactical voter, because you only vote for one party to make the other party lose votes. I can understand that people are confused because different parties appeal to their view, but you should choose a party, because you really believe in what that party wants to do. The cause of this alternative voting may be that people do not really know what the parties represent. Yes, some political parties may share some similarities, but I think that parties are different in many of their views. So, maybe if voters should really look into the parties plans and views, they would be able to choose one party because they really believe in what that party stands for.
Good! very nice topic, and your reaction is also very clear, you explain why you believe the voters are doing something wrong. your summary is also very good. I must agree with you again, I think it's stupid to vote for another party to make the other party lose votes, it can have a good influence but also a bad one.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenYou chose an interesting topic, because knowledge about Politics is important. You really had an opinion about the article and I think you express this opinion well. I agree with you and Miranda that it's stupid to vote for a party to make the other party lose votes. It could turn out to be the wrong decision. So you should vote on what you think is right and not to make another party lose votes.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHi Liselotte. Good and clear blog. It is nice that you chose a topic that can also relate to us in Holland. I think that there are, also in Holland, a lot of tactical voters. People do not really take the time to find out what a party stands for and what their goals are. I agree with your point of view. Good job!
