Election tactics

SIR - Did the 245 electors who voted Green in the Wotton seat for Stroud District Council feel pleased with the election of a Conservative councillor?

In the absence of proportional representation in the local elections, I would suggest that it is still prudent to use tactical voting.

Seventy-five more votes would have delivered a Lib Dem victory - a party which has 'green' credentials.
