It seems stupid for liberal Brits to not vote LibDem right now. Labour is pretty much guaranteed to win big anyway, might as well try to make LibDems the official opposition.

The only constituencies where tactical Labour vote makes sense seem to be Corbyn's constituency and maybe Sunak's if you want to troll and reelect him.

I don't want LibDems as the official opposition until they move back towards the centre and resemble the party under Clegg and Swinson. I'd rather preserve the Conservative party than create a political void on the right side of the spectrum.
