Voting for Police Commissioner

[Benfleet A1]

Well UKIP have posted a letter through the door (the only candidate who has bothered) so that's where my vote is going. And he is holding a public meeting to set out his stall so might wander along to that on Tuesday.

As I said,working class Tories are such a disappointment.:winking:

Apparently UKIP are running more candidates than the Lib/Dems according to their representative on QT last night.

I believe that this is true - although I know the Essex Lib Dem view is that there is already too much politics in policing and we don't need any more of it hence no candidate. They are asking people to vote for the Independent candidates.

I will be voting but haven't decided whether to spoil my paper for the first time ever or whether to plump for any of the candidates.

If before the election I find anything out about the independants I may vote for them, if not I'll spoil my paper - which I did for one of the local elections last year.

Yes indeed GHG,but some socialists are more equal then others,it's a leftie thing you know.

This election should be seen as a referendum on elected police commissioners. Voting for any candidate is a 'yes' vote, not voting is the 'no' vote.

Seeing as elected commissioners are an utter waste of time and resources I will be voting 'no' by not voting.

Not sure you are voting in scotland, devolution and all that
As an aside do you get a vote on scottish independence being English?

I do, because I live here, wheras my friend Ron, who was born and raised in this village but now lives in (and supports) Southend won't be able do.

A few friends have written to the new policing bigwig and after 3 weeks have yet to get a reply so not much to compliment the new system on. The word is he is recruiting a deputy and 4 assistants; with an annual total pay to approach 1/3 million.
And that their first task will be to cut spending!
