What do you mean by ABC?
If the Greens have a real chance, vote Green. If the tories can't get in, vote Liberal or Green. If the tories have a reasonable chance of getting in, or are the incumbent, vote for whoever has the best chance of beating them.
That's my algorithm, for England.
Whichever way you go you're gambling on not just the outcome of this election but of all future elections, influenced by the outcome of this one.
So clearly I could be wrong.
But a divided progressive vote letting the right in is sadly a real problem in many elections. Unless these new green voters come from previous non-voters, they risk the tories getting back in.
And if the tories get back in in 2029, then the election in 2034 will not be free and fair. Think Hungary, Turkey, Russia, Poland, many other "electoral autocracies".
