Election Window Posters: How's your neighbourhood?

[Pickman's model]

In terms of posters, there are the big 'Winning here' ones though admittedly those are more on a big stick than window ones.

In terms of Lib Dems, you have a point...

their posters should read "whining here"

just had two old labour men at the door, collecting data. I told them \i'd written Stalin in for the lols. The one with the tache who bore an uncanny resemblance to Sasaferrato told me
i should be ashamed of myself. Result!

Not guilty m'lud, I was out walking the dog.

I don't think they were expecting me to moan about the excision of clause 4. Also managed to get in there that the party was supposed to be the political wing of the labour movement and yet now the tail is wagging the dog and its a party for micro managerial sorts.

They gave me the 'Hollobone is a wanker' speech in response. Elicited a belly laugh from the be-tached one when I said 'yeah he looks like fred west but he keeps returning a comfortable lead'

A last minute flurry round here over the the last couple of days. A few of the bigger, posher houses that haven't been turned into flats have put up Labour posters (one adorned with red balloons too) and rather more Green ones including some fairly amateurish home made placards and a large chunk of the businesses (laundry, take away, etc.) down the road.

*bump*

A few have started appearing round me for the upcoming elections.

2 Green, 1 Labour so far.

Plus a random "In" poster.

I saw a Zach Goldsmith poster on Barnwell Rd in Brixton, <<shudder>>

He maybe charming but he's a Tory.

He's certainly been charming those who enjoy racial divisiveness.

Not noticed much so far this time around (yet) but a rural tory stronghold, so that will be what shows up in due course - with the odd exception !
Do a reasonable amount of travelling around (mainly to Cumbria and N Wales) so see a general spread of both window and hedge/field mounted stuff for most of the major parties. It is surprising just how much damage a strong and gusty wind can do overnight.

Honestly at this point with Goldsmith I would think that he would be handing out burning crosses to put in gardens rather than posters to be affixed in windows.

Seen one handmade (badly) Leave poster.
UKIP leafleting around here last night.
Looked the double of Herman Goering!

 

[Pickman's model]

there are fewer election posters in windows down our way since i adopted the policy of putting through any window which contained one.

so far this seems to have worked, as no window in my street contains a poster.

I'm resisting putting ("Stay in EU") signs in my window and on my pushbike for fear that it will have the opposite effect ...

No, it was the Reichsmarschall's Baton he was swaggering about with!

This was my friends experience of campaigning in Hinckley with Labour for the Stay in campaign. Some folks really got angry on the street.

Nothing round here yet but saw some Tory ones in Usk last week, is it Welsh assembly too?

 

[ViolentPanda]

No Labour, Lib-Dem or Conservative posters on our estate, understandably.
A couple of "Vote Green" posters, also understandably, given the support the estate has had from Greens.

 

[kabbes]

I've seen lots of rather dodgy looking "Leave" posters. Nothing else though.

perhaps closer inspection might reveal them to be instructions to the postie: e.g. 'leave parcels with number 42', 'leave no referendum literature' etc.

Just appeared near Brighton station

No local authority elections in Wales for May 5th, just Assembly (and Police commissioners).

 

[Sue]

None, no leaflets, wouldn't know there was an election (mayoral, London Assembly and a council by election) on. Guess that's what happens when you live in an area where they weigh the votes.

Yup. Saw some Labour placards on cathedral rd in Cardiff this morning.

We have the all-important Surrey Police Commissioner vote. Surprised that the streets are not festooned with banners proclaiming the merits of the various options.

Surprisingly I have yet to meet anyone that can be bothered voting for this extra layer of bureaucratic nonsense that basically amounts to having a scapegoat to sacrifice!

Not vote in the crucial decision for police commissioner?! I'd sooner deny myself a glass of water on a hot day.

 

[kabbes]

Maybe if we're really lucky we can end up with the UKIP police commissioner:

Julia Florence Searle - Choose My PCC

What we need in the police is moar racism...

 

[kabbes]

Fuck me, the Tory option

David John Munro - Choose My PCC

When 900 years you reach, look better you probably will.

Making our Town Centres Safe

Our town centres can become noisy and violent places after dark.

This is Surrey.

Oooh, Dorking after dark; dead dodgy.
