	Tactical voting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since then tactical voting has become a real consideration in British politics as is reflected in by-elections and by the growth in sites such as tacticalvoting.com who encourage tactical voting as a way of defusing the two party system and empowering the individual voter.
		Tactical voting is fine in theory and as an intellectual discussion in the drawing room or living rooms around the country, but when you actually get to polling day and you have to vote against your principles, then it is much harder to do.
		The term "tactical unwind" is used by some political scientists and commentators to refer to the phenomenon when tactical voting takes place in one general election but in subsequent elections voters revert to their normal patterns.

		Accordingly, political scientists may studysocial institutions such as corporations, unions, churches, or other organizations whose structure and process approach that of government in complexity and interconnection.
		The study of political science is complicated by the frequent involvement of political scientists in the political process,since their teachings often provide the frameworks within which other commentators, such as journalists, special interest groups, politicians, and the electorate analyze issues and select options.
		The complex interplay of economic and political choices is reflected in the field of political economy, where economics and political scienceoverlap.

		Politics is the process and method of gaining or maintaining support for public or common action: the conduct of decision-making for groups.
		Political science is the field devoted to studying political behavior and examining the acquisition and application of power, or the ability to impose one's will on another.
		Political scientists look at elections, public opinion, institutional activities (how legislatures act, the relative importance of various sources of political power), the ideologies behind various politicians and interest groups, how politicians achieve and wield their influence, and so on.

	Tactical voting - Electowiki
		However, the type of tactical voting and the extent to which it affects the timbre of the campaign and the results of the election vary dramatically from one voting system to another.
		Since then tactical voting has become a real consideration in British politics as is reflected in by-elections and by the growth in sites such as www.tacticalvoting.com who encourage tactical voting as a way of defusing the two party system and empowering the individual voter.
		While most agree that tactical voting is generally a problem, there are some cases when a strictly limited amount of it may bring about an more democratic result.

	Guardian Unlimited Politics \| Election 2005 \| Switching sides: the myths and the reality
		Since many voters don't have a clue about the tactical situation in their constituency, it is difficult to vote tactically in such circumstances even if you do happen to live in a marginal seat; a supposedly tactical vote cast in ignorance is likely to be wasted or counterproductive.
		Whenever tactical voting is mentioned, someone usually mentions the Observer/Scotland on Sunday polls of marginal seats in 1997, which are credited with helping to defeat a string of Conservative MPs, including Michael Portillo.
		Whereas traditional tactical voting is about opponents of a party voting for the best-placed alternative, protest voting is about a party's supporters - in this case, nearly all Labour - deliberately choosing to vote for another party or not to vote at all out of protest at their favoured party's behaviour.

		In the West, performing arts have understood performance politics primarily as an intervention into the form of representation and filled it with a basic skepticism that wholly shatters the ontology of the theatrical event.
		The interesting part of this political theatre, of course, is that the madness revealed is not the authentic gesture of the one performing, but that of the one watching.
		Here, tactical advantage means that there are parallel modernities which could be combined, where the difference in the politics of performance is not perceived as a crack in time, but as the possibility of different articulations, parrallel resistances, and reactions to contemporary reality.

	General Remarks on the Question of Organisation
		Similarly, political organisations have grown up, though not everywhere in exactly the same way, because the political conditions are different in different countries.
		Parliamentary democracy is the political form in which the different important interests in a capitalist society exert their influence upon government.
		But in ordinary times politics are left to a small group of specialists, politicians, whose work consists just of taking care of these general, political conditions of bourgeois business.

		I have before me lists of constituencies where tactical voting, or the lack of it compared to 1997, could make a difference; these are to be plotted on a giant map for this week's New Statesman.
		One is that it is worth voting tactically to persuade the Tories that they have no future under William Hague, and they need to change radically if they are to form an effective opposition.

		Tactical media are the field being worked by artists adopting a positive attitude towards contemporary digital technology, in a critical, innovative spirit.
		Media activists point to the power of tactics as a means of breaking down the barriers between mainstream values and alternative ones, between professionals and amateurs and even between people who are creative and those that are not.
		It is the contexts in which tactical media are made that influence the tactics deployed, and these contexts (and their tactics) are multiple.

		In addition, we pledged to remove for centralized storage all tactical nuclear weapons of warships, multirole submarines and naval aircraft, and to liquidate a third of that arsenal.
		It is a fact, though, that the U.S. has a tactical nuclear arsenal of 150 B61 free-fall bombs at its nine bases in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey and Britain (including 90 bombs at the Incirlik base in Turkey close to the Russian border).
		They are tactical nuclear weapons for the U.S. But they are a strategic threat to Russia because it takes a F/A-18 Hornet strike fighter, which can carry such bombs, only 15-20 minutes to fly from NATO bases to Smolensk in Central Russia.

		Neither challenges the assumptions of American empire, and politics as usual will be followed by a Washington regime that will be at best agnostic toward the needs of progressive social movements if not hostile to it.
		For people living on the edge -- as so many are under modern capitalism -- the differences between having the right to legal abortion or not, an increased minimum wage or not, less arsenic in drinking water or not -- are not at all irrelevant, and may indeed be matters of life and death.
		It is presiding over one of the largest upward redistributions of wealth in U.S. history, one of the most serious challenges to civil liberties in half a century, and one of the most aggressive foreign policies in years, made more dangerous by Washington's status as the world's sole superpower.
