Momentum strategy in a nutshell - appeal only to those who already think the way you do, then scratch head in bewilderment as to why the election was lost.

I'm in the closely contested Vale of Clwyd and I've had a different tory leaflet nearly every day. Unfortunately, they're a bit too glossy to wipe my arse with...
There's supposed to be a limit on how much you can spend in any constituency. You can't say "We won't leaflet Seat A, we'll double-leaflet Seat B instead".
Having said that, in my constituency I've had a fair few leaflets from Plaid Cymru & the Lib Dems, a few Labour ones - three copies of the same leaflet sent at different times, actually - one each from the Greens & Brexit Party, nothing from the Conservatives.
I think that is a very valid suggestion Dave. In what has been billed as the election of a generation, people should be willing to explain their vote as there will be serious consequences out of this election no matter how it goes.

I dont understand it. I'd be able to justify myself on any vote I made and most would.
Maybe those 30 people wouldn't mind it but the poll has been set up in a way it leaves no option.
He wasn't being serious you silly sod lol

More of this needed...in both directions.

This isn't an election though, it's a poll on a football forum, and people are frankly able to vote how they wish without being hounded by anyone else. Probably 10x as many people checked the leave box in our EU poll than contributed to the thread, and that's cool. Joe spoke perfectly eloquently on their behalf.
Oh I know - but I think it was a joke that comes from a place of truth.
Speaking of George Howarth as an example - there was an attempt before the election to deselect him, solely because he wasn't Momentum enough. There's no attempt to 'broaden the church' and thus become more electable; instead, the movement must be pure - there's no point debating or coalescing viewpoints, just get rid and disregard anyone who doesn't agree with us.

Have there been examples of it going the other way?

Not as formally stated as that. But unofficially there appear to be *understandings*.
I think both the LP and LD leaderships will want it, but they obviously cant be advocating publicly to vote against their own candidates.

Labour ain’t got a chance here. Genuine working class people from working class backgrounds think voting for labour is voting for communism and social housing and a diet of bread mixed with saw dust. It’s baffling how idiotic people have become.
I could be mistaken but I think the poll was originally visible.
No courage in their convictions at all, shameful.
