Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Internally, Lib Dems are concerned that the tactical voting message isn't reaching the under-35s to the same degree - a reason why this week they will target them with social media and leaflets about a commitment to expand the youth mobility scheme, making it easier for young Britons to live, study and work in the EU.
47% : There was little impediment to most of them switching to whichever anti-Conservative candidate was best placed.
46% : While the net effects of tactical voting are hard to calculate, the Liberal Democrats could gain 10-20 extra seats through anti-Conservative tactical voting, according to an analysis by the Electoral Calculus consultancy.
