Further details on the Village Hall noticeboard
There is no Liberal Democrat candidate nominated because Forest of Dean is one of the constituencies where the selected Lib Dem candidate (Janet Ellard) has stood aside in favour of the Green Party candidate under the 'Unite to Remain' agreement (https://unitetoremain.org/).
Unfortunately our voting system distorts the results and a party gaining little over 30% of the votes may gain an overall majority in parliament. Some people may wish to vote tactically to try to offset this and there are a number of websites about tactical voting which may help people to make a decision about how to vote, such as Best for Britain (https://www.bestforbritain.org/).
Although I'm a founder member of the Liberal Democrats, I'll be voting Labour in the Forest of Dean constituency on 12th December as the best chance of preventing a Conservative majority.
