 Police commissioners: foxtrot oscar 


 Saturday 17 November 2012
Even the loss-making Guardian recognises that Mr Cameron's bum steer has been given the bum's rush. But at least the people of the entity called "Humberside" have been bright enough to reject Prescott and Godfrey Bloom. Even a Conservative is better than that pair. 

I am glad though, that the paper recognises that this is not voter "apathy".  The voter has been given no reason to vote", says the electoral reform society.  Where, as in the referendums on Council Tax, the public could see the point in voting, the turnout actually increased.  This is not the public that got it wrong - the political classes screwed up. 

Meanwhile, we're in Leamington Spa, a bloggers' convention apart from anything else, struggling with a surfeit of CH3CH2OH. We'll make more sense when it's all over.
