Whatever the party, they're all as bad and all as economical with the truth as each other. Is it any wonder that most of the electorate wouldn't urinate on them if they were on fire?

There're a lot of politicians I wouldn't pee on, but I have come across the odd one or 2 who actually seem to give a damn (or at least our interests have crossed paths).

I can't think of any local politicians who I'd give the time of day to.

One of the very few I do admire is Dennis Skinner.

We should start getting out polling cards soon: http://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/polling-cards-police-crime-commissioner-election-sent/

Ours (local elections and crime commissioner) came on Good Friday! - Council workers getting overtime?

Could well be. The last budget to be cut will be staff pay & benefits.

Philip Seccombe got in In Warwickshire; not my choice, but there you go: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2016-35997972

David Jamieson will be looking after Coventry: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2016-35997969

I had absolutely NO idea local elections were taking place in Coventry and Nuneaton & Bedworth - and I read the local paper websites most days!
