Tactical voting
Harrogate and Knaresborough
Our tactical voting recommendation in Harrogate and Knaresborough:
Vote Lib Dem
Why vote Lib Dem in Harrogate and Knaresborough?
Harrogate and Knaresborough was a Lib Dem seat from 1997 until 2010, when it was lost to the Conservatives; but the Lib Dems have remained competitive and weren't too far behind in the 2019 general election. Latest polling shows the Lib Dems ahead by an extremely narrow margin. Labour support is boosted by national trends, but we expect that much of this will be converted into Lib Dem votes during the campaign. Harrogate and Knaresborough is not a Labour target seat.
