Police & Crime Commissioners - did you vote?
« on: 16 November 2012, 16:09 »
I looked over the candidates and it failed to give me any call for concern, or much information about any of them.

Did you vote?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

No point voting on anything thats riddled with corruption. Thats my viewpoint anyway.

Utterly pointless introduction by the Tories in my opinion.

There's next to no policing in South Devon as it is and the candidates in my area were in engaging in constant squabbling (pre-election) and now it seems they've converged to squabble about something else, but this time it's about us (the public) and our lack of desire shown over this election.

bit of a fail in terms of turnout, but surely having the power to elect someone who controls the police is a good thing?
I did not vote, I failed myself

No didn't vote.  Would be surprised if turnout was more than 5%

If you didn't vote you cant complain about anything your local commissioner does/doesn't do. Bit pathetic in this day and age that everyone wants to be spoon fed everything, if you wanted to know about it there was loads of info on the net.

actually you will find that you can complain... like it matters what the police commissioner tells you. its the same old crap. if someone wants my vote then they have to earn it.
