Tactical voting

Chippenham

Our tactical voting recommendation in Chippenham:
Vote Lib Dem

Why vote Lib Dem in Chippenham?

Chippenham constituency is affected by boundary changes. The town remains in the seat but it adds several communities formerly in the North Wiltshire seat, such as Royal Wootton Bassett, Calne and Rudloe. Chippenham was a Lib Dem seat on the old boundaries in 2010-15 and remains a seat that the local Lib Dems regard as a potential win. Polling indicates that the Conservatives have lost considerable support since 2019 but that it is possible that they could retain the seat because the anti-Tory majority is divided. Labour support has risen, reflecting national trends, but in the constituency campaign between now and election day the Lib Dems will be working hard. A larger than average proportion of voters in Chippenham are interested in voting tactically to defeat the government.
