London Strategic Voter - set up to encourage tactical voting to get New Labour out of office - has made recommendations on who to vote for in the upcoming local elections. The William Morris ward of Waltham Forest Council recommendations are here.
Let it be said straight away that this is an attempt to get New Labour out from the Left. There are many former Labour voters - like me - who can no longer stomach voting for a party led by war criminals who want to destroy our civil liberties, and are bent on privatising everything in sight.
So for William Morris ward LSV recommends voting 1 Green, and 2 Lib Dem. This raises the question of which 2 of the 3 Lib Dem candidates to vote for. I suggested to LSV that this could be made on the basis of opposition to ID cards, because I have had replies to my letter from 2 of the 3, both strongly opposing the government's legislation.
LSV have gone along with this, and so they are currently recommending voting as follows - 1 vote for the Green candidate (Alexandra Rowe) and 2 for the Lib Dems (Simon Jones and Bob Wheatley). There is nothing against the 3rd Lib Dem candidate, but he hasn't yet replied to me on ID cards, so that seems a reasonable way to make a choice.
