List candidates in order of how many votes they are likely to get. Pick the first one on the list that's not an evil lying corrupt sleezebag. That will be best for the area (in the long term).
I agree with most of the options other than the one you want to shag.
Then again, I live in the only borough in the country that still had overall conservative control of the local council back in 97 when the tories were effectively booted out of local politics everywhere else.
There is no chance whatsoever that my non-conservative-party vote will count for anything.
I often wonder, if everyone who believes their vote won't count because a particular party dominate an area all went out and voted, would it make a difference? Especially if they voted tactically (e.g. in a a Tory dominated area where the Lib Dems tend to come second (such as Solihull where I grew up), all the Labour voters voted Lib Dem on the basis that Labour don't have a chance of ousting the tories but the Lib Dems might).
Local elections, in particular, tend to have a ridiculously low turn out so a few thousand, or even a few hundred, people can swing the result.
