With the London Mayoral elections, at least you get a booklet with a page allocated to each candidate to telling you about themselves and their policies.
All I've had is my postal vote card with names of candidates and the party they represent. This has confused me even further - surely I am voting for a cop/someone to run the local Police service, not some political party?? Is there a set way of doing things depending on your party? And WTF might that be?
Even if you do have to have party politics involved, I'd at least like to know a bit about the person that I'm voting for and what they plan to do.
shame on you Electoral Commission, this is a total shambles...

Unfortunately this seems to be all too common. In the South Wales and Gwent Force areas there is quite a fair bit of campaigning going on, both on TV, in the papers and on the radio.
Gwent especially, I know of one candidate that is doing door to door canvassing to make sure as many people in the area knows what the PCC elections are for and why they need to vote for the idependent candidate

I'd guess the police know more about crime than politicians...

From what I have seen they are only good at committing crimes and they saying all the MPs are doing it...
