Vote Labour
Why vote Labour in Bolton South and Walkden?
As a rule, we don’t make a tactical voting recommendation where the leading opposition party is polling over 15% ahead of any other party. However, in this seat, there are local factors that will not be captured by our polling, meaning that the seat could be less safe than the polling suggests. For this reason, we are giving the Labour party our tactical voting recommendation in this constituency, because they hold the seat.
