Just over 7% of the electorate, and 4.7% of those votes got him elected!

I reckon that's a disgrace. We were told very little about this, they did say it wouldn't be Party Political, but when you look at the figures there weren't too many others involved. Maybe the 'others' couldn't afford to lose the £5,000 deposit?

Hey, and now they say the crime figures will fall as a result of the PCC's being elected, but sneaky eh because they are already falling, it's already on record, and that was before he was elected here in the Thames Valley!

Saw a bit of the local news earlier and one of the main points of intention for our man is......wait for it.....to cut crime! ! ! ! ! Isn't that what the poor old bobby on the beat has been trying to do for years. They really do come out with a load of B*ll***s. No wonder the turnout was so abysmal. These idiots do not deserve any respect, but well deserve the derision that will heaped on them.

Take a look at this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-20391785

So now the Government will be saying don't blame us, it's nothing to do with us, it's your PCC that's doing it.

Now it's becoming clearer why the various parties got involved!
