PCC's: FAIL

[KeithD]

Did anyone vote for a PCC?

I didn't, no idea who the hell was running. I haven't met anyone yet who did vote.

Is it legal that the first winner had 7% of 15% of the vote? :Erm: I would say that's not a vote of confidence.

I thought the idea for a PCC was to have someone independent and yet in most places it seems to have been political parties fighting it out. :Help1: This vote turned into the way the US do it, everything is political. :NoNo:

I voted for the Tory bloke - he's an ex Army Officer and runs a Defence Company. More chance of him being a supporter of strong policing than the ethnic minority independent woman who's involved in Wimmins Issues and the Labourite Barrister who no doubt makes a fat living out of legal aid.

The whole thing seems a bit of a joke, my reason for voting was that one of them would get the £100k pa job , I didn't want my vote wasted and will feel more comfortable haranguing whoever gets the gravy train ticket

Who bought this crazy idea in?

Total sham £100m of tax payers money wasted.

Laughable. What an absolute disgrace. People quite clearly have no interest in this as the turnouts were appalling. They will be earning upto £100k a year and it cost £100million to run the election . You could have had more than 3000 extra coppers for this.
The thought of that Slob Prescott jumping on the gravy train again makes me :vomit-smiley-011:

I think Prescott will be one of the few people in his constituency with a job now....despite his party's 'I told you so' rubbishing of the elections. :smile:

I had the choice of two women who I had never heard of...evidently looking for a pay rise and something to feel important about.

I therefore spoilt my paper.

Apparently the vote counts took on average 8 minutes....except in Newport where not one person voted. :NoNo:

6 people turned out to listen to 2 Shags in Hulls Town Square yesterday - all card carrying Labourites :laugher:
