observer Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Seems the Tory won it on second pref votes, so the tribal vote was still active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazj Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 So with his stonking big police pension and the best part of 100 grand a year to be a commisar; nice work if you can get it  I never voted. I exercised my democratic right not to vote for a politicised police chief.... because the independant had no chance and it would appear that 86% of my fellow Cheshire constituents couldn't be bothered to vote for this diabolical waste of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Mind you.... it was good to see John Prescotts fat and miserable face when he realised he hadn't won!! Â He gave a losers speech which basically trashed the whole idea of an elected chief; even though he had spent the past months trying to get his hands on the salary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 My opinion is that you should use the opportunity to vote, even if it means writing "none of the above" on the paper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Normally I would agree with you Asp, but as they gave me no info, I thought they won't have my vote or my time to go and spoil my paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Nice to see a good number of "independents" winning, and for UKIP to put the LibDums in fourth place - but is it a fluke or are the electorate getting canny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Seems allegations have been made concerning the new PCC for Lancashire, with regard to expense claims when serving on Lancashire CC and the Police Authority! But what was interesting in the news report, was the existence of a Deputy PCC, who will take over while investigations are ongoing. Does anyone recall voting for a "Deputy PCC"? And how many more "appointments" have been made? Thought the idea was to reduce the cost of a faceless "committee" and elect a single PCC. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy51 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Corruption in this country is getting as bad as in any banana republic . We had that MP the other day who was deemed too ill to stand trial because of insanity. She wasn't insane when the crime was committed & i'm sure that once cured she would have been fit to stand trial, but listening to the judge that is the end of the matter.
