Ban PCCs from party political affiliation and limit to two terms

Closed 445 signatures

What the petition asks

I want to stop the politicising of this role and limit the terms a commissioner may serve. Being linked to a political party means a person can be ‘voted’ in because their political party is voted for, not necessarily for their appropriate skills and experience.
PCC candidates should not be allowed to stand under the banner of a political party. I want the Government to sort this matter out.
