Shaun Wright - Why Unthinking Voting Is Always a Very Bad Plan.

In the elections in South Yorkshire for Police & Crime Commissioner, there was a triumph for unthinking voters. Labour supporters ignored all the negatives about the hapless Shaun Wright.

Even though knowledge of what he had overseen was just the tip of the iceberg compared to what has emerged this week - it was always lurking in the background. They still cast their vote for a Labourite.
Unthinking voting is the principal reason why LibLabDem politicians have walked all over us throughout history. When you vote for those who, by and large, do not represent the people - these are the situations which will inevitably arise.
Who in their right mind could believe that a Labour representative would possibly fight crime, anyway? - Risible.
In Rotherham, of course, UKIP won a heap of council seats last May. Perhaps that tide of folly is now finally turning.
