Yep, seen the title and groaned.

I'm opting for abstention, in the hope that ridiculously low turnouts will discredit them (if they even need to be).

Good God, what a horrible idea these elections are.

Don't worry, it's not as if anyone is going to bother to vote .......

There's always a silver lining...

There are candidate statements on http://www.choosemypcc.org.uk/

I haven't found any obvious nutters among the Independents yet, but I haven't looked very hard.

It's the Mervyn Barrett's I want to find, but unfortunately it's next to impossible.

It's not "vote for everything", is it? It's vote for offering some needless figurehead a disgustingly high salary at a time of mass redundancies. Why? As manualex says, it's chiefly so government gets to wash its hands of failures, and use that high wage to demand the impossible. 

If it were actually "vote for everything" you can bet those nominally libertarian twats wouldn't be found supporting it.

That is actually the first anecdote I've came across that didn't have the polling station empty beyond them and staff.
