Police Commissioner Elections In UK Fail Badly
[link to www.dailymail.co.uk]

Polls closed tonight after the first elections to select police and crime commissioners across England and Wales.

Despite David Cameron heralding them as 'historic' elections, the vote was branded a 'comedy of errors' by the Electoral Reform Society, which claimed polling stations had been 'standing empty'.

One Tory MP told MailOnline: '‘I have been telling my constituents not to vote. This is an appalling bloody travesty costing £75million. I have not met anyone who is voting.’

In Wiltshire, the only area due to declare a result overnight, it was reported that barely one in seven electors had made it to the booths in Swindon.

Turnout in the town was just 14.68 per cent. It was even lower at nearby Devizes at 10.41 per cent.

In the most radical shake-up of the service for half a century, the new commissioners, who are expected to earn up to £100,000 a year, will control police budgets, set priorities and have the power to hire and fire Chief Constables.

Sounds good until you consider large parts of London and other areas are now completely controled by pakies. I wonder how many new police commissioners named Mohammed just got elected last night.

Whats the point, we all know there is no point voting no point playing their game it's stupid and they will put in power who they want regardless.

Nigel farrage is controlled opposition, he was a gold trader one of their own, he is there to give you something else to vote for.

The only way to beat the system is to bust it, why do you think society has so many system busters walking the streets today, people who don't give a fuck about voting or their bullshit laws, we are here to bring it down around their ears by non compliance.

Maybe, maybe not.

Fact of the matter is im not so left i would vote green, im not so far nationalist or socialist i would vote bnp, lib dem broke promises, labour overspent and let in massive immigration and the tories are cutting the wrong things.

There is nobody else for me to vote for other than UKIP, it helps i agree with their stance on some/most things, if they renege on promises well i wont vote for them again.

For me its basically vote UKIP in the next EURO elections and UKIP in the general, if they dont get enough votes to get some MP's in the commons im going to be just as disheartened as those than didnt vote today.

That doesn't resonate with me, UKIP have been going 15 years, are you suggesting UKIP were set up as controlled opposition 15 years ago before the immigration and economic issues of europe got so bad?

I only ever here the controlled opposition talk from BNP voters, BNP aint going to win shit and will probably never poll above 5%, you want something done about immigration you can vote for LIB/LAB/CON on their promises... being that they have all lied over and pver about promises in the past or you can give UKIP a chance, and even then its luck of the draw as they are not even polling enough in areas to win yet, it could take another 8 years for them to start winning seats.

The best protest vote against the main three is UKIP or nothing.

The best protest vote one can register is to send the fucking ballot paper, unmarked, back to its' originator with a brief note explaining that one does not consent to anymore statute (act) bullshit or governance by un-indicted criminals (every single mother fucker, current & past, that pretends to be a politician 'of the people').

These fucktards refuse to let one extricate oneself from the electoral roll because they figure if you don't vote & are registered to do so, then you tacitly agree to the status quo. So, by not voting or 'spoiling' ones ballot paper one accepts the current state of affairs as acceptable.

The ONLY way to show these criminals for who they really are is to send the fucking ballot card back to its' originator ... en-mass.

Then we will have the proof that they lie about vote counts.

Until then then, all is lost.

I will not stand as an 'independent' because I am independent and only want my fellow man to be themselves, independent.

Why any rationally minded individual would willfully abrogate their right to represent themselves to a third party (politician) beats the shit outa me :/

... and deed poll? Are you CRAZY?

Registering one .gov ID title for another one? Really? What good will that do?

I already have a name. My parents gave it to me before the .gov conned them into registering me to be an eventual MR.

I am not a MR. anything.

I am a man.
