Election Posters In Windows

[sunny-dave]

I've got an election poster in my window - and another big one on a stake in the front hedge. I think it's important to stand up and be counted - even if my neighbours are a tad bemused, they at least get to hear my reasoning when they ask.

But, compared to previous elections, I see precious few other private houses displaying a poster - virtually none at all round here.

Why is this?

Is it apathy? Or fear? Or what??

Let's assume you are going to vote and feel strongly about who you want to win (so excluding the "they're all botox" point of view) ....

... have you got a poster up? If not, why not?

A bit of both mamya.

I live in a leafy bit of Warwickshire - I think it's important to make the point that Labour voters do exist out here - and if anyone asks (as they have) I can give them my reasons for Labour in general and (most importantly) the local candidate who is an excellent and very hard working chap.

All of ours were nicked about 20 seconds after they were put up. I have to hand it to the reprobates and ne'er-do-wells as they do make nice bonfires - the occasional car fire but you can't have it all.

My father voted Tory and one tree had a Conservative poster on it. My mother voted Liberal and the other tree had a Liberal notice on it! Colourful!

None here. No idea (or wish) how to get one.
Secret ballot?
