Is anyone voting? You can see your candidates from this link: http://www.choosemypcc.org.uk/
I thought that the candidates would be ex-policemen, but in my area the 2 candidates are both representing political parties. The Labour candidate was a member of a Police Authority but the Conservative candidate appears to have had no prior connection to the police at all.
What is the point of these elections? How can we, at the next election, know if they're doing a good job, what with our journalists? And given that some people would never vote conservative and others would never vote labour, there's not even a real choice of candidates.
