Re: Police and Crime Commissioner elections

It appears that two are failed parliamentary candidates, one of whom is a criminal defence lawyer - he comes bottom of my list. Of the other two, I would always wonder if one was rigidly following party lines despite what the electorate expect of him so I am probably going for the UKIP representative.
Somewhat surprising that in the whole of Lancashire there is nobody prepared to stand as an individual without party affiliations?

Re: Police and Crime Commissioner elections

I am very disappointed to see all these people are members of a political party. I was not expecting that politics was anything to do with the job. I like the whole idea even less than I did before.

The political angle may mean that they can be pressured or manipulated by their political 'friends'...and currently with the sleaze element in the world of politics, it doesn't give much hope that this will not spill over into this section of their work.

I don't think I will waste any shoe leather in making the walk down to Mercer House on the 15th of November....and this isn't from apathy.
If the candidates cannot be bothered to give us more about themselves, so that we can make some informed choices, then I won't be putting a cross in any of the boxes.

I will not be voting either. The nearest candidate to us is a Barrister from Nelson

Re: Police and Crime Commissioner elections

This is vote is about as much use (if not less use) as the Euro MEP's elections..but maybe it might go down well in some leafy Tory low crime parts

Hardly seems right does it? Moving me from one well paid Government Job to another, far better they give the job to someone that has never contributed to the pot such as a professional politician! Cyfer, erm I mean Andrewb, have you got a spare lifetime I think we've just found your perfect career?
