Yes, that's a fair breakdown of the issue.

As there is no chance of anything other than a tory victory I will vote my consicence (Green probably). But if I were in a more contested constituency I would vote to do my best to make the tory lose, even if that were NuLab.

I just wish there was a different voting system to more honestly express my preference

I'm in another completely safe Tory seat.

After 1997 I don't necessarily agree that most seats are safe. But there's a solid minority that are unlikely to change without significant redistricting, and this is certainly one of them.

The tragedy here is that Labour and Lib/Dem votes are evenly split. Together they could bring down the incumbent. But that would mean strategising and self-sacrifice, and both parties would rather lose than waste their time on that.

Since it doesn't make a difference, I usually vote Green (sic).
