"The Liberal Democrats (a centrist political party) will demolish this whole place": Mid-Bedfordshire by-election duel could lead to a Conservative win.

If the Liberal Democrats could encourage their supporters to vote Labour strategically, they might prevent handing the election to the awful Conservative Party. But parties in first-past-the-post systems rarely manage to swallow their pride for the greater good.
