CHESHAM'S former mayor, Cllr Bhatti says that Tory policy ruined his chances in last month's county council elections (Free Press, May 27), although he was soundly defeated by nearly 400 votes.
In the same paper he wants to change the voting system for mayor in Chesham so that the people, not councillors, choose the next mayor.
This is precisely the system the Tories have adopted at present nationally, but his leader, Michael Howard, is about to change it so that MPs, not the people, choose the next leader of the party.
Cllr Bhatti seems somewhat confused on Tory policy and should now relax as an ordinary councillor.
He was however an excellent mayor, having attended over 100 functions.
