Police Commissioner Elections

[yorkie_chris]

Well to be fair they have enough info on there to see that they've worked in council funded things and stuff that has the word "committee" in it rather than proper stuff, and I think balls to yer. I've seen the local council at work with well paid, pencil necked c***s doing nowt but fairy *rse around gobbing each other off, reckon somebody who's held at least one proper job is as good as... dunno whether he was a good copper or not like but got to be better than some dirty red or liberal eh.


I would obviously rather elect a retired engineer who rather than give ASBO's would burn scroats as fuel to turn a steam engine or send them down't pit but you can't win them all.

Tonight I had to battle my way through crowds and had to queue for hours to finally cast my vote into an overflowing ballot box.

Not quite.

I was greeted with open arms by the station attendees like I was the rescue party making contact after being stranded on a snowy mountain for 3 weeks, like the first sign of outside life. I must have been a disappointment to them. They hadn't seen that many people the entire day, but 4 dogs had dragged their owners into vote by the point I have been there. Heat, OK, and Hello had all been read front to back 31 times and the staff had resorted to drawing mustaches on their favorite "celebrities". After a bit of a chat to try and boost their spirits for the remaining hours of isolation I left them with the idea of judging the attending electorate in a X Factor stylee...

And finally for the record, "No Suitable Candidate" got my vote.

I got a polling card,but no info on the 5 candidates in my area. Wish I had done my research as the UKIP guy is da man.



Chevy Chase?

and I'm sure I've seen the LibDem candidate on Bargain Hunt



Boris Johnson's brother



Prince Andrew



And this guys spend's all his time on Autumn Watch

16% turn out in one area.

They shouldnt be allowed to elect anyone based on that.

Sounds familiar. At 6 last night I was only voter 66...

Correct.

13.5% turn out in Greater Manchester.
And yes, i didn't vote for the very reasons:
1) No real info from candidates. Even when internet searching only came up with glib one lines from some of the candidates.
2) Some candidates were not even turning up at the husting.

I live next door to a polling station, about a 100m walk to the ballet box and my next door neighbours didn't vote.

Need I say more

With such poor turnout, they will still go ahead, which imo is wrong.

At a cost of 75 million?
The excuse given this morning was people take time to warm to an idea such as this....... No, people have to get used to being forced upon. Even the candidates are raising concerns!
