I spoiled my vote as I don't think that the police should be politicised.
I know they are replacing local authorities (and apparently saving money) but why didn't they pilot this idea somewhere first like they normally do? I agree with the idea of one person in charge of the police being accountable but why not just have them report to the local MP's and/or council with the public sitting in?
Would have been interesting to see what the turnout would have been if they gave the option of "don't bother"
