There's a lot of these about, but watch your head if you are walking down Stondon Park as one of the Green posters cleared my head by just a few mm.
I know these are temporary boards, but they still present a hazard when they stick out over the public footway, which I am sure they should not.
Green Party posters look like they are made of something substantial, unlike estate agents boards made of corrugated plastic.
Has anyone spotted a blue one yet?

Seen massive ones for labour, not much for anyone else.
Not seen a blue one, but at the same time a vote is a private thing, so im not impressed by the signs. Used to them of course, but one has already been torn down by the Dulwich Plough.

Doesn't it add to the vitality of our democracy if people are prepared to make a public statement about their politics? (Like my wife, who's put up a poster, but in the window of her upstairs study, so that I can dissociate myself from it if I feel like it)

One window displaying a Conservative poster had a brick thrown through it. That may explain why you don't see many posters for the party in the lead according to the surveys.

Think I'll vote for these guys

Where and when was that then?

Robin, I am not against them, and well done to anyone wishing to promote their vote. Posters are one thing but "for sale" style board look hidious, especially down roads with a high number of properties for sale too.

The whole window smashing thing is certainly something to take into consideration. Either way, putting a posted up does not sway votes, so as noble as it is, its pointless.

If putting posters up doesn't sway votes, then why do political parties pay out so much for big poster sites? I am sure there are many swing voters who are keen to vote either for, or against the party they think is winning. If their local area is a sea of one colour then it will surely affect them.

There is a slight difference between vast apparent "factual" advertising posters on paid for billboards, and window posters with a colour and name on them.

I have to say if swing voters vote based on the colour that surrounds them, maybe they should not bother voting at all.
A vote should be an educated decision, not because a party is your favorite colour, or you saw lots of posters for them lol.

Buy a burger because you saw an advert by all means, but vote with your mind please people.

Maybe this is how the country gets in such a mess all the time

I'm a little confused by the orange Lib Dem boards as I thought they'd changed their corporate logo to yellow a while back?

The other half said that too. I think its more to do with standing out. Yellow would fade pretty quickly, and not be as bold.
