Tactical voting
Gillingham and Rainham
Why vote Labour in Gillingham and Rainham?
Labour held the Gillingham and Rainham constituency (then called Gillingham) between 1997 and 2010. Since 2010 the Conservatives have built up a large advantage in votes, making it look like a safe seat on the 2019 figures. The latest polling shows Labour with a clear lead over the Conservatives in Gillingham and Rainham. However, polls have tightened during campaigns before and been in error in some previous elections. There is a large Reform UK potential vote that may pose a threat to Labour if the right wing is united; Labour’s lead depends on the right being divided. No other opposition party is targeting Darlington and Labour is the clear anti-Conservative choice.
