Why vote Labour in Herne Bay and Sandwich?
Herne Bay and Sandwich is a new constituency composed mostly of communities that were in the previous constituencies of North Thanet and South Thanet. Latest polling shows Labour inching ahead of the Conservatives, but polls have tightened during campaigns before and been in error in some previous elections. Labour’s lead is vulnerable to the Conservatives if Green and Lib Dem supporters - for whom this is not a general election target seat - do not vote tactically.
