Greens and Lib Dems' tactical voting may boost Labour in Makerfield
The Makerfield byelection is shaping up as a contest influenced heavily by tactical voting, with Green and Liberal Democrat supporters prepared to back Labour candidate Andy Burnham to prevent Reform UK from winning. Polls indicate that while Burnham maintains a narrow lead, significant numbers of progressive voters are willing to consolidate their support, whereas Reform’s vote share remains similar to Labour’s, though they face less willingness among their supporters to switch. Experts suggest that tactical voting among left-leaning voters favors Burnham, while right-wing voters are more divided, potentially complicating Reform UK’s prospects.
