Why vote with your heart in Houghton and Sunderland South?
Tactical voting isn’t necessary in all seats, and we want as many people to be able to vote for the party they think represents their values at this election. We haven’t made a recommendation here because the incumbent MP is polling at over 15% ahead of any other party. This means this seat is safe and you can vote for the party you want to.
