Norfolk Blogger makes a good point that he noticed on his trip down South that there was very little political billboards around. Maltheus must admit that on locally, around Norwich he hasn't seen too many either. Theres the four Lib Dem 'Winning here' boards at the house near the uni and a smattering of Green boards but Maltheus hasn't personally seen any posters or Billboards for the Tories, Labour or any others anywhere.
A board makes a affirmation that the person situated at that house is a keen supporter of the party and i suppose some may be reluctant to have them in case they then get sucked into the political debates of their advertisers.
When Maltheus used to lived in the 'Golden trainagle' he had a corner house and 4 other flatmates. They all have differing opinions on politics and so like Pokemon they tried to 'catch them all' - Our garden had advertisements for Green at one end and Lib Dem the other. Slightly confusing to the average passer by but making a statement that we were political. Maybe a way to raise awareness of the elections is to have a 'We're voting' poster or board people could put up - this helps advertise the elections without having to reveal your vote if you don't want to?I'd certaily be up for it if the council made them.
