A bid to criminalise water companies that fail to tackle sewage has failed.

The Liberal Democrats had proposed an amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill that would have created new offences if firms did not do enough to deal with spills.

But the measure failed on Wednesday after Tory MPs voted against and Labour members abstained.

      I will probably do the same. Never really understood tactical voting. Is it just so you can say you voted for the winner? Realistically one vote here or there is unlikely to swing it so surely just vote for the candidate/party you want regardless of their chances?

        Yeah I feel like tactical voting just encourages you to settle for the least worst option and helps lead to a two party system.
