Re: Police and Crime Commissioner elections
I respect our ancestors who worked to give us a democratic government, but somewhere along the way it has gone badly wrong...I thought that democracy meant that you listened to the views of the electorate.....not disregarded them. I don't feel that the electorate are listened to...and that we are given these opportunities to make us think our input matters...when quite clearly it does not have any impact
On the front of the Lancashire Telegraph today it says 'LABOUR WIN POLICE POLL'
That is my biggest gripe.......that politics are being inserted into an organisation which should be above any political wranglings......that and the fact that this money should be being spent on 'putting feet on the street'.
It seems to me that the electorate have no confidence in the political parties...so it comes as no surprise at all that there was such an appalling low turn out.
