Police and Crime Commissioners

[Grahamm]

Is anyone voting? You can see your candidates from this link:  http://www.choosemypcc.org.uk/

Here's the list for Hampshire:

    GOODALL, David Ian (Liberal Democrat)
    HAYES, Simon Alexander (Independent)
    JERRARD, Don (The Justice and Anti-Corruption Party)
    MATES, Michael (Conservative Party Candidate)
    RAYMENT, Jacqui (Labour Party Candidate)
    WEST, Stephen Michael (UKIP)

But I thought we were supposed to be electing someone to represent *OUR* views on policing and *NOT* a f*****g politician!

Well that makes my voting choice very simple. I'm not going to vote for *ANY* of them!!!

ADDENDUM: Oh and PS, I note from the leaflet I got through the door that we get to vote for a first choice *and* a second choice! In other words this PCC election is going to be done using a version of the Alternative Vote system, yet we didn't have a referendum on it!

I think that shows just how little relevance our political leaders think it has...  :rolleyes
