Rejected petition Referendum on Police Crime Commissioners (PCC's)

More details

The government forced the British Government to vote for their PCC, however they did not give us a choice of whether we wanted PCC's in the first place. After only 10% of the public voted, it is clear that PCC's are not wanted or needed. They have shown a clear abuse of power and seem to be accountable to no one. The Government must give us a vote on whether the public even wanted the PCC's.
