The three horse race

It has been a very modern election – American even – what with the TV debates. The lamp-posters, not allowed until the final week, potentially tell us a lot about the parties: the Lib-Dems do not appear on this lamp-post, perhaps sabotaged? Other sites suggested they had the highest ladders. The Greens have a simple party slogan on thin backing, secured with twine. The Tories do not even name a party here – quite the opposite from the party-centric advertising in more sympathetic England. The Scottish Socialist party get to the point with a red star and Labour hang on to the 1997 over-design which appears to put the emphasis more on voting than the party or candidate. Which is possibly commendable, possibly poor design.
