67% of current Labour voters told Survation tin tomorrow's poll they would vote for another party to stop the Conservatives from winning vs only 20% who said they would not. Similarly, 68% of current Lib Dem voters would also vote tactically to stop the Conservatives vs 29% who said they would not.

When the question is posed in terms of “stopping the Labour party from winning” while 69% of Conservative party voters in tomorrow's poll would vote for another party, most 2017 seats in England and Wales that were marginal in 2017 were of course Conservative / Labour contests.

A lower amount (39%) of current Lib Dem voters would vote for another party if it stopped Labour from winning (46% would not - the "would" is a lower figure than the 68% that would vote differently to stop a Conservative win.

That said, 80% of Brexit Party voters said they would vote tactically to stop a Labour win, and squeezing the Brexit Party vote, which looks soft in this scenario, will be an important underpinning of the quest to secure an overall majority.

All these factors will play out differently depending on geography, and local factors providing the potential for non uniform swings in regions and small geographies with different characteristics.

Data tables for our polling in tomorrow's Daily Mail can be viewed here: Fieldwork 29th–30th October 2019. 1,010 aged 18+ living in the UK interviewed online.

In voting methods, tactical voting (or strategic voting or sophisticated voting or insincere voting) occurs, in elections with more than two candidates, when a voter supports another candidate more strongly than their sincere preference in order to prevent an undesirable outcome.

For example, in a simple plurality election, a voter might sometimes gain a "better" outcome by voting for a less preferred but more generally popular candidate.

It has been shown by the Gibbard–Satterthwaite theorem that any single-winner ranked voting method which is not dictatorial must be susceptible to tactical voting. However, the type of tactical voting and the extent to which it affects campaigns and election results can vary dramatically from one voting method to another.
