Rishi Sunak under fire for jeopardizing Conservative party's future

Campaign group Best for Britain has created a tactical voting hit list, with the top priority being to remove Rishi Sunak from his seat in Yorkshire. They aim to prevent Reform from gaining a foothold in parliament and support Labour's Jovan Owusu-Nepaul in defeating Nigel Farage. Best for Britain is urging voters to consider tactical voting to maximize support for the center-left. They emphasize the need for cooperation among center-left parties to ensure strategic voting benefits across different constituencies. Nearly 40% of voters have shown interest in tactical voting, with varying levels of support across different regions. Best for Britain highlights the impact of years of mismanagement by the current government and the importance of democratic reforms, addressing Brexit issues, and taking meaningful climate action. They warn against the influence of populist elements within the Conservative Party and advocate for tactical voting to remove such individuals from positions of power. The group's analysis suggests that high-profile Conservatives like Jacob Rees-Mogg, Suella Braverman, and Liz Truss could be at risk if voters strategically vote. The Liberal Democrats have also launched a tactical voting campaign called Operation 1997, which has seen some success in shifting polls in favor of the party. They are targeting key figures like chancellor Jeremy Hunt, identified as a priority by Best for Britain.
