Help Stop The Right
All elections matter. Too often, the Tories or Reform win because people like us don't show up.
Join up and we'll take you through this plan.
VOTING TOGETHER GIVES US MORE POLITICAL POWER
Millions of people could vote tactically at this year's elections. A big proportion of voters showing up mainly to prevent the right from seizing power. Register as a tactical voter by joining the Movement Forward and we can prove it. Then together we'll tell the new government how they truly can earn our votes next time.
Tactical Advice Explainer
(New Town & Christ Church ward)
You can vote for 1 candidate here
Please note the Liberal Democrats are committed to getting rid of the unfair First Part the Post voting system (which would end the need for tactical voting) in Council, Mayoral and Westminster elections. Labour are not.
We've manually set advice for this ward. Although we are aware of the result the last time this ward was fought on these boundaries in the 2024 local elections, where the Tories were a distant second to Labour, we have mainly considered the parties standing this time and the strength of their campaigns. We therefore judge this contest to be between Labour and the Lib Dems (who have been a reasonable force in this ward over the years). While Reform cannot be discounted and could come through the middle, this is not the best Reform territory in Colchester.
