Police Commissioner Voting

So who’s voting? I have to be honest and say the whole thing doesn’t interest me and along with the fact I’ve had no information on candidates etc, I shalln’t be using my vote next month.

Nor have I (West Mids area) but will probably vote.

Mine is in the bin, no matter who it is they do things to please the selves :slight_smile: c ocks

i think i will be, although one of the lincolnshire’s candidates as puled out due to funding issue’s…

That’s the thing; Who could fall for this “anyone can stand” crap? You have to have money behind so it’ll benefit some ex mp who wants to put his snout back in the trough again. As for “hiring and firing Chief Constables” that’ll be more golden handshakes then.
I’ve only voted once in 15 years of being eligible. I don’t think it makes any difference,especially in local elections where all councillors waste money on skateboard parks and metal huts for the local chavs.

I’d vote for Limeyphil if he was standing.

If you don’t vote, then you will never change anything, you might not be the best player but you can block someone who is!

I know in Hull. John Prescott is alienating his populace

I like to think that by abstaining from voting, you’re saying “none of the above, thankyou.”
I’d go out and actually put a x to that if it were allowed on the ballot paper.

tell you what, i won’t be voting for that fat ■■■■■■■ :imp:

So has anyone, will anyone bother tonight? I’m too busy, gotto find something on tv worth watching…

Not voting , don’t believe politics and policing should mix.

Voted this morning.Don’t believe in the Police Commissioner rubbish,but voted because people fought for the right to vote. I think voting should be compulsory.

I’d agree with this, Dave but aslong as there’s a “none of the above” box. It might not elect anyone but would be a yardstick of opinion.

The comment above about John Prescott worries me, if people cant be arsed to vote he will get in. They have to use tactical voting to keep the fat zb out.

If you don’t want them to win, vote for someone who cant win but will run a close third. The second man gets the votes and pushes prescott out again :stuck_out_tongue:
