Our tactical voting recommendation in Darlington:
Vote Labour
Why vote Labour in Darlington?
Darlington is a swing seat between the Conservatives and Labour. The Tories won it in 1983, lost it in 1992, and regained it in 2019. It is not a Lib Dem or Green target seat. Recent polls favour Labour, but the Conservatives have appeared competitive in previous polls and they will be hoping to squeeze the vote of Reform UK to hold off Labour. Lib Dem and Green voters can lend their tactical support to Labour to prevent this from happening.
