General Election 2015: Do you think your vote will be wasted? You could try swapping it with someone in a marginal seat
[Ben Little and Jonathan Rogers barely know each other. But, on 7 May,
each man will walk into a polling station in different
constituencies and cast their vote according to the other’s wishes.
The pair have agreed to swap votes – a form of tactical voting developed to increase
the power of individual votes cast under the first-past-the-post (FPTP) electoral system.
Neither man will be voting for his first preference, but both believe vote swapping will help
them to maximise the chances of those they want to see in power.
Mr Little is a Labour supporter in Chipping Barnet, a safe Tory seat in north London.
Mr Rogers is a Green Party supporter in the Labour target seat of Hornsey and Wood Green,
also in north London, where Ed Miliband’s party has a real chance
of unseating the Liberal Democrat incumbent. ]
