Election posters
Anonymous has left a new comment on 'Postal Votes - UK vote rigged?':
Just an observation.............I do not vote personally. However (anecdotally) has anyone else noticed that there seems to be a weird consensus and common ground amongst the parties in the U.K election.
Usually (based on every General Election ever) election posters and materials can be seen in every town village and city. Lamposts have little coloured posters and the candidates name on them - everywhere, with all parties visible and represented. Not so this election year - nothing anywhere.
I'm basing my observations in Southern Scotland. Maybe others have a different experience and are seeing the usual election stuff everywhere. I have visited a number of towns around the country (in just the last week) and haven't seen anything (conspicuous by their absence).
I've been in the Scottish Borders Edinburgh, Dumfries and Galloway, Lanarkshire and Fife and haven't seen anything. For there to be nothing anywhere, all the major parties must have got a memo or met to agree an election programme or something - nobody appears to have 'broke ranks' and put up their own posters and materials.
Is this Twilight Zone moment of democratic indifference a 'nod' to the end of democracy itself or is it nothing at all and 'move along - nothing to see here's.
Just wondered.

Had a clutch of candidates leaflets delivered by postman yesterday (directly binned). All the standing parties had exactly the same manifesto, namely 'save' the NHS, and stop dumping sewage in rivers. Impressive huh? The NHS having been set up in 1945 should be a very healthy institution by now - yet it is always rolled out in an emotional blackmail plea, although it is somehow representative of US, and we need the 'saving' and protection. It is such a boring reflex now, it means precisely zilch.
It's all meaningless, as intended, and the window-dressing of democracy is looking very shabby now, in the last days of the final clearance sale!
