Election Window Posters: How's your neighbourhood?

I kinda lost track of the WRP years ago. I knew there were various incarnations kicking about but couldn’t be arsed to dig into their recent history.
 
Empty, until I got to Kirkwall today and saw maybe 4 Lib Dem’s and then this guy had some fun with the posters.

I like his straight to the point reasoning: The current MP cost us millions of pounds, I think we in the Northern Isles will be saying no thanx to that malarkey in future. I see where anarchists have been going wrong over the years, over- complicating things. Put the cost of an MP on a bus.

MP? No Thanx!
 
Finally got a labour leaflet on Wednesday afternoon - only noticed earlier today when I checked the post. Cutting it a bit fine.

Only got 1 labour leaflet vs the tories 7. Labour did hold onto the seat but tories were only about 400 votes behind.

That probably means visits from boris next time :eek: (i'd better buy the eggs now :hmm:)

Just found this list of "target seats" in 2024.

Marginal Seats Battleground - Election Polling
 
Drove past a skip at bottom of my road this morning with a ratty armchair and a labour sign sticking out the top, wish I'd taken a photo
 
there is still a 'limp dems - winning here' sign up on one of the houses on the main road here.

no they bloody didn't, despite throwing a heck of a lot of money behind their campaign to get their ex tory MP candidate elected.

i haven't quite got the energy to go and vandalise it.
 
Quiet round here. Terraces largely empty of posters which is unusual. A few of the posher houses a few blocks away have Green Party posters up, and there's a sprinkling of Labour placards around. But really nothing compared to the usual Green vs. Labour slugfest we get.
 
The usual smattering of Green stake boards in Bishopston/Ashley Down. Seen one Labour but just assumed it's a candidate's house tbh
 
A few SNP and Labour window posters round here. We were in Fife the other day and passed a house with a massive ten-foot blue Alba party banner tied above the front door.
 
None here.
Neither round my way.
I suppose it's normally just the streak of yellow piss who put them up here (in Sutton) but for the GLA they've got no skin in the game as the constituency is Croydon & Sutton. So, as part of the greater unit they become the insignificant 3rd, minor party they should be.
 
Quite a few Labour up in my part of Norwich, but definitely more Green than in the past. Never any Torys or Lib Dems for along as I've lived here.
 
Some Labour and Green posters around town. There are never any Conservative ones, you have to go out of town to see those in surrounding villages or sometimes bigger versions on trailers in fields.
 
Not seen any posters up around here yet. I've had a couple of leaflets from the LibDems and over the last few weeks various candidates have appeared out of nowhere on the local Facebook groups to tell us all how wonderful they are.
 
We were visiting my mum on Saturday and on the road there all the farms usually have big Tory hoardings. This time none. Not a single one.

Round my bit there’s some Green posters in windows but not very many. And somebody has photocopied some A4 sheets saying “Football results: SNP 1 Alba 2” and stuck them on street furniture on Great Western Road. Not many, though, and it’s clearly a homemade project rather than anything professionally produced. It’s daft though.
 
Football + Sleepy Cuddles = danny la rouge choking with fury :D

There's a few SNP posters round my way and one or two big hoardings at crossroads. Not a huge amount of enthusiasm. I've had leaflets from the SNP, the Greens and from Labour.

Some bootlicking wallopers did a "tribute" to the Duke of Edinburgh at the beach on Saturday, styling themselves a "Veterans and Citizens" group. Someone else has a big Union Jack in their window so it's anyone's guess which one of the flavoursome smorgasboard of right wing bigots, libertarian monomaniacs, anti-vaxxers, prolifers or sex pests he'll be voting for on the local list.
 
Can't speak for my area as I haven't been about much, but Mebyon Kernow appear to be the only presence in Redruth town centre.
