    I'd love to know the answer to this - do the parties have proof that postering gets votes? Even if they could justify it, public opinion has changed and people no longer want posters festooning our road sides but that would only matter if they actually listened to the public.

    You are right about changing attitudes, but those that do not poster do get less votes, there is an overwhelming body of votes that suggests that the posters are the most important part of the campaign.

    There are precedents already where candidates who did not initially us posters, did so later in the campaign as they were too far behind in the opinion polls.

    I miss the excitement on poling day, now, I don't miss being hassled and harassed, but I hate the anti climax of the moratorium and it's like the circus has left town already.

    Breaking the law in more ways than one it seems:

    Cable ties drive me bonkers. I may even be mad enough to photograph every lamppost in the village to know who to complain to when they're not taken down again. Because that would be considerably less effort than trying to shimmy up a lamppost to take them down myself.

    We could make it mandatory that each party must use a certain colour cable tie, be measy to identify who the offenders. Then again we would most likely need the offenders to support and vote the motion in.

    Edited: I see razorblunt had the same idea. Guess the government needs to pay tens of thousands to a panel of consultants to suggest it to them.

    Should we add pics of posters contravening the regulations re placement?
