Tactical voting
Dover and Deal
Why vote Labour in Dover and Deal?
Dover and Deal (previously just called Dover, although the constituency still included Deal) has gone with the national winner in every election since 1951, except for the two 1974 elections when it stayed Conservative while the country narrowly voted Labour. Labour did well in the 2023 local elections here, confirming the party’s role as the leading challenger to the Tories. No other opposition party is treating Dover & Deal as a target seat. Latest polling shows Labour with a clear lead over the Conservatives, but the margin has fluctuated; polls have tightened during campaigns before and been in error in some previous elections.
