Why vote Labour in Lowestoft?
Lowestoft, as the Waveney constituency, was Labour-held when the party was in power in 1997-2010 but reverted to the Conservatives in 2010. Latest polling indicates that Labour is ahead of the Conservatives. No other party is close, and no other party is treating it as a target seat. Waveney Valley is a nearby Green target seat. The deciding factor in Lowestoft may well be how many of the supporters of smaller parties vote tactically - Reform UK for the Tories and Green and Lib Dem for Labour.
