Will You Be Exercising Your Franchise Today?

Now's the chance to show the politicians what you think of them.
In the local assembly elections I'll be voting for Clair Bailey of The Greens.

I really don't think Police and Crime Commissioner should be a political position, but we only have the Conservative, Labour and UKIP candidate. I would prefer an independent. The Conservative is certain to get in, this is one of the safest Conservative seats in the UK. They would vote a 3 toe sloth in if it had a Conservative badge on!

We had an Ind't here for PCC, he got our votes.

once I had exercised my franchise as SR puts it
I told the teller / clerk/ operative .....

'you do realise the first candidate's name is mis-spelt dont you ? '

being a civil servant I wont say pandemonium ensued
it was a bit like a sleeping dog when a small child trips over it

Already for the walk, both of us. :)

^^^ 'been for a walk to the Polling station'..............grrrrrrr I hate this keyboard!

Further to all that. Only 1 candidate out of the 3 standing for councillor bothered to put a leaflet through our door. So he got our vote; guess who - UKIP - delivered by a lady trudging around.

The police commissioner vote - I wrote that I could vote for none of them because I know nothing about any of them. No contact from them at all.
