UK minority party supporters coordinate strategic votes through Facebook

LibDem supporters in the UK have started a Facebook group to coordinate action among LibDem supporters who might vote "strategically" for another party in the upcoming election. In the UK (as in most countries), voting for minority parties is seen by many as a "waste" because your candidate is unlikely to win. This, of course, is self-fulfilling — if everyone votes strategically, even popular candidates don't get elected. Using the net to make contact with other supporters is a smart way to overcome the collective action problem. (Thanks, Dan!)
