Must be something slightly flawed with it. Out of 6 goes I got 3434 5 times?!

Edit: Then the following 4 I got 3434...

There's nothing quite like a bit of Barbie when you're at a loose end.

All sorts of elections today. Only the PCC in Bath, which nobody really cares about so I've voted for the two with any experience in the area (one retired cop, one criminal barrister) rather than the bunch of political lifers and ex-councillors that were put up by most of the parties.

I note Sonic got a mention on the Adver's election live blog...

I spoiled my police commissioner vote and went for green in the locals.

There is a retired copper up here which has led to much debate about the extent to which such a candidate will be independent or not?

I hope you have better luck with the Greens than we did in Lancaster, exposed to be a complete middle class one issue party who had no idea or comprehension of anything that didn't involve quiche knitting and trying to get all cars off the road - singularly failed to take any interest in the unemployment and deprivation of the estates in their ward and instead concentrated on keeping their middle class voters happy, so nothing to affect house prices seems to be key!

As we moved right on the cusp of the closing of the register we didn't get a vote up here although as the whole borough seems to be an entirely Lib Dem closed shop probably little point voting anyway!

Could say the same of any party candidate I guess, I can't claim to have done any real research into the candidates as the whole post seems pointless, but I figured he'd at least have a clue what he was doing.

I suspect that there might be quite a bit of ACAC or similar entered on pc ballot papers today.

I have to choose to vote for the new Mayor of London and I am really struggling with the candidates!

I thought there was about a dozen standing. Got to be someone's whose ideas chime   surely?

Didn't the news come out recently that the Green candidate is being monitored by dodgy police security services, that would get my vote.

I've always considered myself a millinophiliac feline impressionist. If only there was a candidate who shared my passions.
