Campaign data analysed by FT reveals electoral strategy likely to maximise Tory losses in the south of England
Labour is directing its activists away from Conservative-held seats targeted by the Liberal Democrats into constituencies far from their homes, a strategy that is likely to maximise Tory losses in the south of England. Volunteers in Somerset have been told to travel more than 80 miles to Plymouth, while London activists have been advised to ignore Lib Dem targets in the capital’s south-west, data from the Labour campaign website shows.
If the army town in Hampshire had the same boundaries back in 2019, the Conservatives would have won 57 per cent of the vote to Labour’s 22 per cent. The seat is not on the Lib Dem target list. Aldershot is the most ambitious Tory-held constituency that Labour’s website currently targets.
