Local Councillor nominees are
HEREPCC candidates are
HEREAbsolutely no idea which PCC I will vote for. Jane Kennedy has done a reasonable job but it could be bettered by the right person, if there is one.
A bit undecided on councillor, too many of current labour group have lost the plot so its probably looking like I'm voting green - but I'm not ruling out UKIP yet.
Labour need to be there, the current crowd of pseudo-labourites need kicking out.
We at last have a labour leader in the country and all these false effigies of Labour are kicking up a stink.
Today we enter the week including these local elections and all we have had so far is the poll card. Absolutely nothing from anybody else. Most unusual.

No need for the Tories to leaflet as they have beaten Labour and other parties to the punch by their front pages advert in the Wirral Globe (I wonder how much that cost them)which coming so close to the election doesn't give any of the other parties a chance to put their views across.
Also the row over anti semitism and the way it's been blown up by the media to take our eyes off Tory issues.

Conservatives really can stand back and do nothing as this labour is doing all their work for them. What a shambles! Until you get rid of Corbyn and elect a believable leader the party is doomed in my opinion.
Be honest, they're all crap.

Think that's one of those generalisations we apply to certain professions (tax collectors, traffic wardens, ciggy police etc ...
Personally not bothered which "party" gets in as long as they do a good job----and there maybe is the problem--its the "party politics" and squabbling that hinder good job being done.
At present its a poison chalice with no money.
Be honest, they're all crap.
Pretty much so.
ye agreed but we have to have someone. Watching JC before on news at mayday rally, saying Nhs in crisis, housing crisis etc but we surely know that a contributory factor to this is the influx of immigrants and the population increase. He is saying one thing then saying let the immigrants come as many as want to. Doesn't make sense to me....
Long may Corbyn survive. With him as leader, we'll never have another Labour government.
I've only had one leaflet from the Labour party,nothing from any other.Got my 18 yr old able to vote for the first time how can he make a choice without seeing what the parties policies are going to be.Wouldn't even think there was an election on there's not been much about it,no wonder the young can't be bothered.

Interesting turn up for the books, prospective conservative candidate for Merseyside PCC David Burgess-Joyce who is currently a Wirral Councillor was sacked by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) for gross misconduct in 2013.
There are calls for him to withdraw from election and resign as Councillor.

Don't forget to go and vote today 5th May.
Vote lines close at 10pm all votes after this time will be made up and will go to the person with the most money or dirt on others, you'll never see your pm other than on TV for taking more money than they need,
This year seems to have been quiet on the election front,we've got 5 candidates in our ward I think but no communications off them bar one,so how are we supposed to vote when they havn't said what they are prepared to do if they get in.
Only leaflets I've seen are about the EU
All my candidates don't even live in my ward
It's only DD'S first post that tell me who's who
I've noticed some of them have moved to a different ward from previous one they stood in
Less volunteers these days, most leafleting is only done in targeted marginal seats.
We only had two candidates. Labour and Tory.
Did get a Labour leaflet a couple of weeks ago. New candidate....no track record but dous live local.
Our polling station was very quiet. Interested to learn the turn out.
UKIP are picking up a few seats so far which I wasn't particularly expecting.
Looks like Labour have appeared to have held their own in the locals but suffered in Scotland. If this trend is maintained at the general election, I am I correct in thinking that Labour would have no chance of getting into power because of the Scottish results, which used to play a big part in the Labour figures? And, if this is the case would it mean that Labour will never again get into power as long as they keep losing votes to the SNP? The evil Tories must be laughing their evil socks off. They will be able to do whatever they like without any fear of losing power.
If labour altered their stance on Europe they would wipe the rest out.
Some areas of Scotland are starting to get wary of SNP, it still doesn't make sense that SNP want to be out the UK but in Europe???
Congratulations to Stuart Kelly in the Oxton ward. Nobody does more for that area, or keeps in touch, than the Lib Dems.
I'm not nationally a Lib Dem, but proud to vote and support them locally.
At least I know that since I was one of the 35% who actually bothered to vote, I can say what I like about the Council. If anyone complains about them to me - I will enjoy asking 'did you bother then?'
