Am I alone in thinking this isn't a voting matter? I really don't want people basing police strategy on what will win them votes. Surely, if you're good at being a DCI, then a Superintendent, you can probably run a Police Force. Winning a popularity contest voted for by people (e.g. me) who mainly haven't got a clue what the job entails, or what its consequences are, just doesn't seem relevant.

I'd rather vote for each Cabinet post, might at least make a difference...

It does seem extraordinary (a) to hold the election in November, not May 2013; and (b) to save a comparatively small amount of money by not mailing out candidate statements, if the plan was to elect commissioners with a strong local mandate and to encourage the election of independents.

Opting to hold an isolated election in the cold and dark of November, with a lack of information, except where Labour and Tory party machines managed to churn out leaflets about their candidates, seems like a recipe for low turnout and the election of party candidates. I hope that I'm wrong about that, but suspect that I won't be. Conspiracy or incompetence?

However, I do have to laugh at people commenting on web sites about a lack of information. There was ample information for them on-line; the people who really missed out were the old, some of the poor and the PC-illiterate, who didn't have computer access.

Low turnout sees one-eyed drug boss elected as police commissioner

DISFIGURED crack dealer Stephen Malley has been elected police commissioner for Gloucestershire.

Malley vowed to clamp down on ‘****ers’ and people who grass

Independent candidate Malley won with four votes, or 80% of the entire vote for the county, after a successful campaign in which he threatened to burn his neighbours’ house down.

Malley, whose colourful past includes losing an eye in a machete duel, said: “In the past the police and I haven’t always been on the same wavelength, especially after I strangled someone with barbed wire.

“At the time I said I didn’t do it, but now I’m a boss copper I suppose I can come clean. What am I going to do – arrest myself? Also that was a long time ago.

“I feel very strongly about the legalisation of murder, although only for people who owe me money.

“Also I want to see more relaxed controls on fully automatic weapons, including anti-aircraft guns.

“And I’m going to be very tough on rival drug gangs. Obviously not on my own drug gang, that would be idiotic.â€

Malley likes to spend his spare time in his heavily-fortified detached home ‘with a load of prozzies’.

He said: “I love my dogs, they’re called Scorpion, ‘Da Boss’, and Quickfire.

“In fact, I’m changing the law so that you don’t need to have pitbulls on a lead and if they attack anyone the victim pays a cash fine.â€

Simon Cowell probably hand a hand in it - though maybe looking at the turnout he didn't but he will run the next one.

Didn't vote in the end. Have a postal vote and forgot about it when I got back from my bruvs at the weekend. Don't know where the card went.

too busy? Democracy needs people to vote.

No. Like I said I had the card before I went away to my brothers. When I came back I forgot about it until it was too late. I was undecided at the time.

I don't really get why you wouldn't vote.

If you don't vote then someone else will decide for you.

I boycotted the vote. The whole idea is a complete farce and I don't think any of the candidates are sufficiently qualified.

I had the choice to turning up purely to abstain or not attending so I took the lazy route.

Sir Clive Loader has been elected as the first ever Leicestershire and Rutland police and crime commisioner.

The Conservative candidate won with 64,661 votes, compared to Labour candidate Sarah Russell's 51,835, after second preference votes had been taken into accounticon1.png.

Conservative Sir Clive Loader has been chosen as Leicestershire's first police and crime commissioner (PCC).

He beat Labour's Sarah Russell after second preference votes were counted as neither candidate managed to get 50% of votes.

Independent candidate Suleman Nagdi was eliminated after the first round.

Sir Clive, a retired RAF serviceman who spent 30 years with the force, will be responsible for setting priorities for the force and overseeing its budget.

Just 16.36% of the electorate voted.

Dear Mr New Police Commissioner

Please will you fix it for me for your officers to routinely taser pavement cyclists and people who wear their trousers with their pants deliberately visible.

Thanks

Love
