Tactical voting
Rochester and Strood
Our tactical voting recommendation in Rochester and Strood:
Vote Labour
Why vote Labour in Rochester and Strood?
Labour and the Conservatives are currently neck and neck in this constituency. Labour’s poll lead has also fluctuated over the last few months, meaning that it cannot be taken for granted, and it depends on the Conservatives losing some votes to Reform UK. The Tories will try to squeeze Reform, but this can be counteracted by supporters of the Lib Dems and Greens lending their votes to Labour. It is not a target seat for any other party.
