Why vote Labour in Reading West and Mid Berkshire?

Reading West and Mid Berkshire is a radically altered constituency in the boundary changes taking effect this election. Parts of the constituency were previously in Reading West but others were in Newbury or Wokingham. Had this constituency existed at the time of the 2019 election it would have had a substantial Conservative majority. Polling since September has consistently shown Labour ahead of the Conservatives in the new constituency. The latest research shows a comfortable Labour lead over the Conservatives, but things can change during election campaigns and polls have been in error in previous elections. The best chance of beating the Conservatives here is to vote tactically for Labour.
