Apparently there have been large numbers of "spoilt" ballot papers, many with comments such as "dont politicise the police" written on them.
I wonder how many of these were spoilt by police officers who do not like the idea of independent scrutiny?

Just think ... all those people who want more (for themselves / the NHS / the scroungers) can NEVER actually explain where the money should be coming from - or which benefit to cut to "fund" their new spending spree !
Perhaps they should elect Paul Daniels !
Hey Presto !!!!!

I think I'd rather have ficticious people like Arthur Daley & Terry McCann in charge...A bit dodgy, but their principals are good.

The average turn-out seems to be around 15% ... very disappointing.
I wonder if some people should even be allowed a vote?
In one ballot box (in loony Labour Doncaster - not the "brightest" place on earth) there were only 5 votes in total !
The REAL problem with democracy is that the unthinking (and barely literate) are also given the same voting right as, say, Richard Branson (who employs thousands of people and generates huge income for the contry).
