How people vote in closely fought constituencies like here in Taunton and Wellington will decide the result of the upcoming General Election.

At the last General Election, Lib Dems finished second to the Conservatives. Just a handful of votes could decide which of them wins this time.

Every vote will make a difference between a Conservative or Lib Dem win here.

Labour can't beat the Tories in Taunton and Wellington.

Lib Dem or Conservative here

There are two choices. Either we will get a Conservative MP - and the out of touch government will continue to take our part of Somerset for granted, or we will get a Lib Dem MP in Gideon Amos and Taunton and Wellington will have helped bring down this government.

No other result is possible here.

A Labour vote will help the Conservatives win

A vote for third-place Labour here risks letting the Conservative MP here sneak a win and help this government cling to power.

Labour only have one councillor across the entire Tauton and Wellington constituency. They just can't beat the Conservatives across rural Somerset.
