Oh yeah, that was yesterday. I got mailed three ballots for stuff like this. Honestly I kinda forgot what they were for, because I hadn't heard a thing more about them until right now. And that's sad considering I was at a talk by the GMP Police Commissioner on Thursday lol.
15% is like what the turnout is here in Texas for special elections or off-season elections or local elections. I don't know what you're worried abou....hmmmm. Yeah you should definitely be worried. =\
When I voted at about 9:15 I was the 10th person to vote at my polling station.
It seemed to me that in the weeks leading up to these elections that the press were continually talking them down and predicting a very low turnout. It was a situation that I think became a self-fulfilling prophesy.
I wrote " I disagree on principle with politically elected commissioners" on my ballot paper.
First time I've ever spoiled a ballot but I feel strongly that these posts should not exist and that the £100,000,000 could have been used in better ways
A lot of people I know did similar. I just wish the media wasn't so intent on focusing on how the public don't care about politics and democracy is wasted on them etc. etc., instead of actually trying to work out why pretty much everyone's so disengaged and disenchanted.
i don't actually have a clue what any of this is about. i guess downing street has a point when it talks about a media black out in London on the issue, lol. or maybe i missed the police election edition of the Metro XD .
