However, the simplistic view of politics that I have is this:-

Now this is the fairy tale part bare with me, please.

I actually think the Lib Dem', (local), would get my vote, (best chance of them winning around here in years).

You see, the reason for this is, whatever the party, I know in my heart of hearts I want to be represented by someone that suffers the same kind of in-breeding as I and the rest of us locals do, at least no matter how badly they represent us in London they still have to live around here with the rest of us, not go scurrying off to some Chelsea Flat never to be seen again.

I'm actually agreeing you on this one, Less. I once declared that I'd rather be kneecapped than vote Labour - and I still hold to that view. However Britcliffe's bunch have proved themselves more inept than the outfit they replaced. Short of looking to some anonymous independent candidate, I reckon the Lib/Dems might just be the party to make a better fist of it come the local elections. As for the main event, reckon I'll give it a miss once again.
