I'm voting tactically - to kick the current lot of tossers out.

This site gives useful info on tactical voting in a non partisan way:

Well having read all the parties info about disabled people I think maybe I
should top myself now and save them the trouble of putting me in the
workhouse.

I think tactical voting is a very strange idea - where you vote for
someone you don't want in government.

I vote for who I /do/ want to win.

However tactical voting is a by product of an undemocratic electoral
system.

Tactical voting is a valid counter to "the stupidity effect".

Lots of stupid people keep voting for the thieving toraidhe, so the keep
getting in, whereupon they put as many people out of work as possible and
set about stealing everything that isn't nailed down.

There's no need for tactical voting under, say STV, since you can rank
your mosted hated candidate last.
