    OK So I want to be police commissioner for Sussex. Now how would I start.....
    Seriously though - does anyone know who is standing?

    There is an Ian Chisnall and one Godfrey Daniel that I know of. I am looking into their qualifications for the position and their sincerity in how they intend to make the police force of East Sussex more accountable to the public and what improvements they envisgae.

    Names so far are:
    Katy Bourne (Con)
    Godfrey Daniel (Lab)
    Ian Chisnall (Ind)
    Nigel Goodyear (Ind)
    Phillip Jones (Ind)
    David Joe Neilson (Ind)
    Matt Taylor (SOS Party)

    The Police Foundation website (hopefully attached) keeps the list up to date.

    The spelling and grammar are bad enough. Wait till you take in the content.

    Godfrey Daniel was a Hastings councillor on the county council and served on the Police Authority. Very nice bloke.

    Having studied the various websites and other local information, it seems that as a traditional Englishman with roots in Sussex I feel that Katy Bourne is the correct candidate for the position.

    Matt Taylor has an article on his website claiming that he has won the election. Copied from the page I provided a link to.
    "On 15 November 2012, for the first time ever, the public across Sussex elected Matt Taylor as their Police and Crime Commissioner, who will be accountable for how crime is tackled in their police force areas.."
    If he's going to be in a political position he needs to learn to lie better than this.

    I'm certainly not going to vote for any candidate with an official political affiliation. That said, does anyone see the turn out being much over 5%? It'll be won by whoever can persuade twenty of their mates to actually bother voting.

    I met Katy Bourne a few weeks ago and I was massively impressed by her. If she was elected, she would become a very understanding and capable representative of the 'people' which is what being a Police and Crime Commissioner is all about.

    I think I shall be voting for one of the Independent candidates. Cannot see a candidate politically connected to one of the major parties putting the public wishes and concerns before his parties policies. I would imagine to get the best out of this new proposal we need a person with no "masters" guiding the decisions they will have to take.

    Don't forget that these elections will be using the Supplementary Voting system, which allows the votes two preferences.
    If no one scores more than 51%, then the top two candidates go through to round two, and all the second preference votes from the discarded candidates will be added to the top two. where upon a winner will be declared.
