PCC Election 2016.

How depressing. In Stafford borough, that gives Ellis a whole 8.7% mandate. I hope the final result is lower, I really wanted (if not a lower turn out) then a lower mandate than last time.

Why ?

 

[ATJ]

Why ?

Because the whole thing is a farce and an increasingly low turnout would demonstrate the mockery it makes of the 'democratically accountable' police commissioner.

I see that most areas are reporting a huge number of spoiled papers.

Then go and spoil your ballot paper. All you achieve by not voting is to increase the political power of those that do vote. Apathy achieves nothing.

Yay brilliant news...

It's a pointless role and the vast majority of people don't care about it, hence the low turnout.

I vote to get rid of PCC's.

Anyone who did NOT vote against the Conservatives in the General Election voted FOR this system

when I talk about low mandates and turnouts I particularly enjoy high levels of spoiled votes. Birmingham had 11,000.

... I particularly enjoy high levels of spoiled votes.

Do we have a figure for spoilt ballots for this one?

I voted tek-monkey.
