Ashfield
Our tactical voting recommendation in Ashfield:
Vote Labour
Why vote Labour in Ashfield?
The Conservatives won Ashfield from Labour in 2019 but with a small majority. The seat is complex politically, with the incumbent now representing Reform UK, and there has been significant support for Independents in past local and national elections. Reform UK has pulled ahead of Labour in the most recent polls. It is not a Lib Dem or Green target seat, so Labour is the clear choice for progressive voters, and is polling ahead of the main independent candidate.
