Turnout in yesterday’s Police and Crime Commissioner elections, which mark one of the biggest changes to the Police Service in generations, was extremely low, early results suggest.
How they managed to find 81,000 in Wiltshire I find surprising. I cannot help but smile at the low turn out, shows no one is either interested or just does not want this great idea, either way it looks like a dead duck. I have no idea the rest of the results, but I hear in some locations the turn out was under 10% .

FEWER than one in ten voters in Surrey Heath have attended poll stations for the county's police and crime commissioner election.
The media have harped on about the job of the new PCC, 1, Person can sack the local CC! 2 The person sets the sets out local policing priorities, and for multimillion-pound police budgets.
Just for example, I took up the post, I know it is a daft idea, amusing if it were not so silly, the MET would not last long, the budget spent on Road Policing. The CC needs a job he can stay on, plus he likes the Road Policing bit. As for placing lots of money in my hands, probably best not.
We don't want to elect Police and Crime Commissioners. We just want the people we already elect to do their jobs
