Our tactical voting recommendation in Halesowen:
Vote Labour
Why vote Labour in Halesowen?
Halesowen is a modified version of the previous constituency of Halesowen and Rowley Regis which was a Labour seat in 1997-2010 but which switched with the change of government in 2010. Labour had a very narrow lead over the Conservatives here in the May 2024 local elections, but when people are thinking about the general election the latest polling shows Labour comfortably ahead. However, polls have tightened during campaigns before and been in error in some previous elections. Only Labour is treating Halesowen as a target seat.
