Hugh Grant advocates tactical voting to 'save the country'

Actor Hugh Grant is on the campaign trail with the Liberal Democrats again today.

On Sunday, he was out with Luciana Berger and today he's accompanying Chuka Umunna, candidate for the Cities of London and Westminster.

Grant - who's been a vocal campaigner for stricter press regulation - tells supporters he's never been involved in a general election campaign before but thinks it's "different this time".

I'm voting Lib Dem. In my constituency Tory's won last time by just 4% over LD and really think we can get the win this time. Nothing to do with Hugh Grant though.

[KARL]

A question surfaces among all the babble: Does anyone on here, male or female, have anything other than jibes, names, etc. to offer about any female politician ? The vitriol seems particularly vicious toward them.

Can see why Hugh grant has turned to the Lib Dems ,
" Sense and Sensibility " .

[pixie374]

Gulliver... they are openly trying to overturn democracy. How are you seeing that as a positive, in any way? Even if you didn't like the result...??

I think tactical voting is a dangerous idea...vote for someone you don't want to stop somebody else you don't want....and parties who resort to it resort to it because they haven't got a cat in hell's chance of getting sufficient votes any other way. He is entitled to his opinion and entitled to campaign for whomever he wishes. Advocating tactical voting doesn't make me think much of his intelligence though.

Woofgang - I would naturally vote Labour but I live in a Tory stronghold where Labour don't stand a chance. Therefore I shall vote tactically for LibDem as they're the only party that has a chance of de-throning the Boris lot. This will be my first meaningful vote for 3 elections as we were lumbered with Bercow unopposed as the Speaker.

//I shall vote tactically for LibDem as they're the only party that has a chance of de-throning the Boris lot. //

Regardless of what that may bring. Not smart.

[emmie]

not smart at all in my opinion

[gulliver1]

20.13 I was referring to the film sense and sensibility.

[gulliver1]

Diddlydo, 22.28 I would do exactly the same , good thinking.

[emmie]

let them get on with their delusional thinking.

[CrapAtCryptics]

If he thinks it that important why doesnt he stand.

[emmie]

it is what i was wondering,

[emmie]

is anyone happy with stricter Press regulations...
as he suggested

[naomi24]

Not me. That's a slippery slope.

[retrocop]

As I wrote earlier. He has a personal beef with the press from his past history.

[emmie]

i know he has retrocop...
