Well they don't like people power - they prefer to tell people whats good for them - like gay marriage, having their chidlren placed into anything the state calls a couple in the event of their death ( oir the state deciding to cease those chidlren ).<br /><br /><br />I'm part of the choir and your voice sounds good.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9565399.post-7046502691969254292012-11-18T15:20:18.373+00:002012-11-18T15:20:18.373+00:00The lack of punishment isn't the fault of judg...The lack of punishment isn't the fault of judges or police but that of taxpayers who don't want to pay for more prisons and politicians who know that there are no votes there. Give judges and magistrates the prisons and they will fill them up. Note well that politicians (and prison governors)will always dream up initiatives to release prisoners early when prison overcrowding with its accompanying horror stories of slopping out, cell sharing and human warehousing rears its head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9565399.post-56504173246031205962012-11-17T19:07:07.116+00:002012-11-17T19:07:07.116+00:00I know many people who didn't vote - thinking ...I know many people who didn't vote - thinking somehow they were letting politics into the role. But its there already ( all these quango's and appoiyments are a soup of politics and grace and favour positions offered by those in power ).<br /><br />In Surrey the new independent PCC was elected with more votes than almost any MP is Westminster has.<br /><br />Its quite clear the establishment have tried to drown this puppy at birth - the fact that they are using the anti-politics anti-coalition fealings to do it doesn't detract from their intention. ( And it does hide the intentions from the geenral public who think they are some how attacking the estbalishment by not voting ).<br /><br />Why were the elections ran so poorly ?<br /><br />Why didn't the BBC publicise them properly ?<br /><br />Why didn;t the goivernment do so ?<br /><br />Man in a Shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00990902055642035293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9565399.post-79246735174633479362012-11-17T18:58:49.132+00:002012-11-17T18:58:49.132+00:00I didn't vote.

I don't want to vote re police commissioners. The police do catch criminals by the shedload. I want to vote on judges. Especially I want to vote out of office all these useless wrist tappers who make a mockery of justice and insult the victims.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9565399.post-15936671010523780572012-11-17T18:39:22.965+00:002012-11-17T18:39:22.965+00:00It was unbelievably badly organised right from the...It was unbelievably badly organised right from the start, no information, no canvassing and the cynicism in me agrees that there were reasons for this. Those who were elected on such abysmal turn-outs cannot really be said to have a mandate.Jennytchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621488409334115930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9565399.post-72757951878232052402012-11-17T17:39:30.568+00:002012-11-17T17:39:30.568+00:00"Turnout was low bacause the establishment ha..."Turnout was low bacause the establishment hates people power"?
