Voting out the Tories sounds like an excellent move on your part, bonzo!

Though I don't think national politics should necessarily be reflected in local terms. There are even some Tory councillors who have fought hard to protect their communities from being damaged by governmen policies, even under Tory governments.

And there are plenty of local councillors in all parties whom no one should vote for, even holding their nose. (And the same goes for national politics of course.)

But personally I would never resort to voting by post unless I was confined to my sickbed.
