You do realise that if everyone who thought "my vote would be wasted" voted anyway, they would stand a not insignificant chance of kicking out the incumbent? Aylesbury in 2005 had a turnout of 62.4%, and although the Conservative got almost half of the votes *cast*, he only got 30% of the total possible votes.
Anyway, no vote is wasted. Your vote - whoever you vote for - sends a message that the candidate/party of your choice has support in the area. The more people who send that message, the less likely that people will be saying in the *next* election "my vote would be wasted".
As for who to vote for, if you dislike all the parties equally, I suggest you vote for the local candidate you think will do best for the constituency (although you have left it a bit late to do your research, google is your friend).
A very quick check on your candidates suggests that neither the Labour or LibDem candidates have been "parachuted in", which is to their credit. The Labour candidate was born and brought up in Aylesbury, whereas the LibDem is a sitting district councilor for Coldharbour. Google them, read their webpages/blogs, try to get an idea about them.
