Election Window Posters: How's your neighbourhood?

[Leafster]

The only ones I've seen around here are for the LibDem candidate but since he also stood successfully for the local council election they've just left them up.

 

[Sue]

Just saw a Lib Dem poster along the road. Sad to see it didn't say 'Winning here' on it.

(They did come fourth with 5% of the vote last time but that sort of small detail doesn't usually stop them.)

I think the posters near to me do say "Winning here" but since he won in the council election there's an element of accuracy even if he's unlikely to win at constituency level.

Nothing yet in my terrace.

Over the borough line in the posh 'burbs two £halfamillion+ semis on the same road are having an entertaining Labour vs. Tory placard war. It's escalated up to billboard size placards in the spacious front gardens thus far

Henbury (Bristol NW): nothing
Horfield/Bishopston border (Bristol W): some Greens
Knowle (Bristol S): lots of Labour

 

[nogojones]

A few Labour, one or two Plaid Cymru and one Green

 

[Teaboy]

The lib dems are out in force in my area, those orange / yellow lozenge things are prevalent. Someone has even put an EU flag up on a flag pole. What a time to be alive!

 

[RD2003]

As many Labour posters here as in previous elections, which surprises me a little.

The odd Green poster and nothing else I've noticed.

 

[DotCommunist]

not seen anything yet. Not had any leaflets since the locals

Spotted a labour poster in Longsight this morning from the train, with a picture of the candidate in the Gorton constituency. None round where I live though.

 

[Plumdaff]

Saw the sole Welsh Lib Dem lozenge of the campaign in Riverside today, not even claiming to be 'winning here'. Otherwise a few Labour, slightly fewer Plaid.

Where was that, so we can burn them out?

multiple occupation? I feel for their neighbours

Spotted on my street this morning. An A4 price of paper taped to a front door with following typed on it in apx. 36pt arial:

No junk mail.

No Tory leaflets.

Anything Tory will be smeared with shit and posted through Rob Wilson's letterbox.

(Rob Wilson is our Tory MP)

St Werburghs (Bristol W): Labour

 

[kebabking]

Saw about a dozen houses with Labour boards in the garden in the Forest of Dean yesterday.

Didn't see a single other board.

 

[chilango]

Very few. A few Tory and Labour ones on the bigger houses over the border. One lozenge the other side of town. Silence from the Greens. They're usually strong in the terraces but nothing at all up around here.

 

[planetgeli]

In my constituency it's easy to imagine the Tories winning due to whole tracts of farmland being taken by Tory posters. They don't win (Plaid Cymru do). Interestingly (vaguely) the Lib Dem candidate is Lesley Prosser. Her son is responsible for the Underworld album title "Second Toughest in the Infants", which he said when coming home from school at 7 years old one day. Prosser is one of Underworld's Aunts or something. As much as I love Underworld, that's no reason to vote for the Lib Dems.

Plaid Cymru = toughest in Carmarthenshire (East & Dinefwr). Not quite as catchy.

 

[Sue]

Spotted my first WRP one in the window of a kebab shop.

 

[gentlegreen]

A scattering of Labour in East Bristol - even saw a car with "Jeremy Corbyn" obscuring the back window on my commute.

You need to sneak down one night and deface both.

 

[bimble]

Can report that at least one voter in Camberwell is going full tilt for the lib dems' anti-brexit appeal.

 

[Sue]

Local businesses:

Green in the Chinese supermarket and the vegan restaurant.

Labour in the newish, trendy cafe/bar.

WRP in the kebab shop.

No Tory or Lib Dem ones yet.

 

[sealion]

Hove in Sussex has loads of green party stuff and a few labour posters scattered about the town. Not seen any tory stuff so far.

 

[Duncan2]

Rugby area haven't seen a thing.Just across the border into Leicestershire there are a couple of dozen Tory placards in-you guessed it- a farmer's field but otherwise nada.Not sure whether citizens locally are keeping their cards close to their chest or whether they are just not that interested.

Why would you risk losing custom by having political banners in your restaurant? Bizarre.

 

[High Voltage]

Mostly Liberal round by us, with a token smattering of Tory - it's been a Tory safe'ish seat for some time now, the Liberal got elected for one, maybe two parliaments a few back but lost the last one as a direct response to the coalition, but by all accounts she's "not a bad MP for the area and actually cares about her constituents"

It's quite common. When I lived in Oxford, all the shops near me used to have posters up at election time.

Not in a window...but (the actively campaigning) Mrs B has drawn our "Chomsky" into 'the battle for Carshalton & Wallington'.
