Election Window Posters: How's your neighbourhood?

Reading East, Labour placards have sprouted on a couple of £half-a-million semis over the district line in the leafier 'burbs. Nowt round the terraces closer to home yet.
 
There's a smattering of orange diamonds round here, mostly for the council, and a couple of large fields bigly voting for the Tory mayoral candidate.
 
Some Tory boards on fences on the outskirts of Worcester, and a window full of 'vote Labour' posters in Bewdley.

The Labour party candidate in my constituency, who lost in 2015 and was obviously so devastated that he's not been seen in the CLP since the week after the election, has obviously lost his posters in whatever mental turmoil affected him in the days after the 2015 GE, because there weren't any outside his house when i drove past it last night...
 
Seen Labour placards in leafy well-to-do Pontcanna here in Cardiff. Nothing much else.

Here in the rough tough ;) other end of Canton I'd say it's neck and neck Labour and Plaid, all for the locals rather than the GE as yet. There's allegedly been signs nicked by local kids paid by both sides in Ely/Caerau/Fairwater. The scandal!!!! I've seen Tory signs in Cardiff North, but none in the areas of Cardiff West and Cardiff South I frequent, but then I go to Radyr and Penarth rarely if at all.
 
Not a thing, apart from one sad yellowed Vote Remain poster still clinging to someone's front room window.
We've got loads of Stop Social Cleansing stickers though.
 
None in the immediate area, and I've only seen one labour poster in the window of a house somewhere in Burnage as I passed on the train.
 
Nothing whatsoever here yet in the SGL 'burbs...but then we're not having any locals.
 
I've seen one poster for the Independent in our locals (who is set to win), plus two LibDem placards in the garden of a sitting LibDem councillor
 
Yet again I stand ready to alter the VOTE HUNT placards round here, if only I could think of what to change that to? VOLE HUNT?
VILE HUNT :thumbs:

i'm still loving this one :cool:

Out of London for work today. An entire street in St Albans with Labour things in their gardens and a couple of Green posters. A load of Lib Dem diamonds over towards Watford. Haven't seen any at all in London.
 
Lakeside in Cardiff is wall to wall orange, but on the plus side counted 12 Labour placards going through Whitchurch and only one Tory.
 
The very few here in Swansea (across both sides of the city generally) are mostly generic 'Vote Labour' with no names. A tiny number of Lib Dem ones, with councillor-candidate names. But LDs were slaughtered in the 2012 local elections and won't make much of a comeback -- their coalation with 2 Tories and a few bonkers independents was hugely unpoular.

No posters at all in my street and neighbouring ones. Once Carolyn Harris's campaign (for re-election as MP) kicks off we're likely to put one in our window -- we like her. See 'Your voting history' thread for why.
 
Noticed all Labour on the way to the football Saturday bar one solitary scummer lozenge but the candidates were all local, still not got a Labour PPC I don't think, thought Dave Drew has put his name forward apparently and would seem the best choice without really knowing the other possibilities bar a few uninspiring county councillors.
 
Nothing round here, but then round here the queue to get out of the polling station is usually longer than the queue to get in.
 
Fields around here are usually tory territory. (as is safe seat for the nasty party).

Local councils do have a smattering of other varieties of politicians ...
 
This is the first campaign thing I've seen round here so far (was the crossroads just outside brixton police station)

A few Tory ones over in the leafy 'burbs.

That's new.

They weren none around in 2015.

A Labour one on my terrace.

Silence from the Greens which is unusual.
 
All orange and blue here (west wiltshire) - looks like more orange at the moment. Maybe we'll get rid of the awful Tory woman this time and go back to being Lib Dem - the previous incumbent was alright tbf, answered my letters and at least gave the impression of listening

Labour don't even have a look in around here. Might get a few voting Green.
