Ultimately the electoral system is just stupid and tactical voting shouldn’t even exist, but them’s the rules of the game right now.
The Greens are very much “my party” policy-wise and I’m in Bristol West, where they tend to do well.
But the current (Labour) MP also votes pretty much in-line with my ideals, and I’m conscious of the need to vote tactically to keep one of the Brexit-backing parties out.

World would be a better place if everyone voted for policies, not personalities.
For All Mankind, episode 1
What I don’t particularly get is why the show uses fictionalised versions of real people (Apollo 11 crew, Werner Von Braun, Gene Kranz, etc.) in some places but completely fictionalised people for others—the Apollo 10 crew is entirely different from reality, and Margo Madison is an amalgamation of, I suspect, Poppy Northcutt and Margaret Hamilton.
I could grok this in Chernobyl, where they amalgamated literally dozens of people into the character of Ulana, but these are mostly one-for-one replacements and I find it kinda jarring, as someone with some prior knowledge.
