[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 7559005, member: 8735"] Jonathon Seed has won the vote to be PCC in Swindon & Wilts, but he has a drink-driving conviction from 1993, current legislation means that he may not take up the role with this conviction, so there must be a new election. Mr Seed has not at any time hidden his past conviction, but the Conservative party wrongly assured him that it was not a problem. So Mr Seed has not been in any way dishonest, but his party advisors have been almost unbelievably stupid. For the record I'm a Conservative party member; but... I still think the party should foot the bill for the electoral rerun. But... I also think that it is ridiculous that, even with his prior conviction, Mr Seed could join the police to [U]enforce[/U] the law, become a Judge and [U]rule[/U] on the law and sit in Parliament and [U]make[/U] the law, but [U]not[/U] become a PCC... not that I think PCCs are worth having anyway. :mad: [/QUOTE]
