Well it's local elections, did you bother to vote?
Yes, I know, no one really worth voting for, but did you make the effort to turn up?
If you didn't, can you really comment if everything continues to go downhill?

Or does it ease ones mind the fact that it keeps postal workers in employment? I'm only wondering because, I last signed up for my vote online, but still had a guy call around to get my signature, I'd told him what I'd done, he replied better fill in my form, online is a good six months behind you'll miss out on your vote otherwise.

Re: Well it's local elections, did you bother to vote?
Yes.....I walked down to the polling station in the sun.
Wrote something on my voting slip which indicated they are all a shower of Fisons anyway. (On the way back I got bird bombed.....was that some kind of punishment for my comment......and yes Less, I can hear you laughing) Our voting was for the police commissioner doodad. Just another tier of worthless bureaucracy. Hardly worth the effort.

Re: Well it's local elections, did you bother to vote?
Voted by post.
Did anyone get any electioneering activity from the Police & Crime Commissioner candidates - in fact does anyone know of anything that the past incumbent has achieved during his period of office?

Re: Well it's local elections, did you bother to vote?
None at all. For the first question......and almost the same for the second question too.
Just another way for local politicians to feather their nest at our expense.

Re: Well it's local elections, did you bother to vote?
I don't agree with the Police & Crime Commissioner position, the police should not be political in any way

Re: Well it's local elections, did you bother to vote?
Why do we need a highly paid police and crime commissioner?

Any political involvement leads to the possibility that the police can be manipulated by politicians. Just how ludicrous would that be(tongue in cheek)?

Re: Well it's local elections, did you bother to vote?
I voted but as for the PCC vote,- I told them to kepe the paper because that was the first I had heard of it.
No point voting if you know nowt about who you are voting for. |
