Breaking with its more traditional Labour support, The Mirror is encouraging readers to vote tactically for the Lib Dems in seats like Carshalton & Wallington to keep David Cameron’s Tories out.The article says: “This is a Labour paper with a long tradition of supporting Gordon Browns party, but we are urging some of you to vote Lib Dem this time.”
And the paper carries a guide to how to vote – including a recommendation that Labour supporters vote tactically for Tom Brake on Thursday
Meanwhile, two senior Labour politicians, Ed Balls and Peter Hain have got pretty close to encouraging their supporters to vote Lib Dem where that will keep the Tories out. On Radio Four today Peter Hain called for “intelligent voting” (from Labour supporters) to beat the Tories.
