Matt Taylor, a Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner candidate, announced to a packed audience at the LGBT Hustings at Queen's Hotel on Wednesday 17 October, that he wants to introduce a new concept into politics called 'Guerilla Democracy.'

Organised by Christopher Cooke the Chairman of the LGBT Community Safety Forum, he was one of 5 candidates to sit on the panel., together with Katy Bourne (Conservative), Godfrey Daniel (Labour), Ian Chisnall (Independent), Tony Armstrong (UKIP).

During their initial 5 minute introduction Matt Taylor announced that due to the likelihood of only an 18% voter turnout and a near guarantee win for the Conservative candidate, it would be stupid to thrown his £5000 deposit down the drain.

In light of which he asked that if anyone wanted to vote for him, please spoil their ballot papers by writing SOS on it. Explaining further that all spoilt ballot papers are counted and that in the miraculous event that there were more spoilt papers than any others, the counters could divide them further by counting the papers with SOS written on them.

He said “I'm not going to let stupid bureaucracy to stand in my way of my perfect job.”

Matt Taylor will be attending Hustings at Sussex University on Wednesday 31st October starting at 7pm and Thursday 1st November at Crawley Youth Centre at 7.30pm.

This so called democratic election is a total farce and not what it purports to be. In view of the restrictions on who can stand, the probability is that an establishment whore will be elected by a fraudulent process.

Elections are rigged in the UK. Apart from those where there is fraud by postal votes, other elections have been "tampered with" to deliver what those in power want to achieve. An example is the vote for the election of the Welsh devolution. The majority of the voters said no to this but the results were fiddled to deliver what Tony Bliar wanted.

The democratic process is a sham to make people think there is choice.

In the case of the Police Commissioner elections, don't forget that these officials, when elected, will be paid significant amounts of public money. They should be accountable to us all but will serve their masters.

Levelling the Land...guerilla time.
