Election Leaflets!!!

[bunn]

I love election leaflets. We've just had our first one arrive for the European elections. It's a LibDem one.

According to the leaflet, the LibDems are against Paedophiles and Organised Crime, and for Protecting Local Jobs. They are also in favour of Real Jobs for Real People (not like those fake people that the other parties are all about) and Making the EU Work Better For You. Those are the headline things. From the paragraph text, they also seem to be fans of Big Piles of EU Cash For All.

In subliminal messaging, all the people in the photos are white, and all look over forty. Most are male, although three are women (one lady appears three times! She must be important.) The other two women are Back of a Head, and Face Obscured By Flyer. The LibDem team have a photo of themselves taken with the Britannia Inn in Saltash (that's the one with a giant Union Jack painted across the entire building). They get a gold star for putting my name and full address on the leaflet, all spelt correctly. They clearly enjoy wearing hi vis jackets in either yellow OR orange.

I am looking forward excitedly to the promises of other parties, delivered in digestible leaflet form.

...I don't know if it's good if the only ones who mention themselves on a regular base is the "swastika party".

I think it's bad if you are only getting info from one party. If that one party is an extremist party too, you have to wonder what all the others are up to, and why they are leaving the field clear. :-/ I suppose print content is expensive, bu then that raises the question of why some parties feel they can afford it.

Well, it's not like you don't receive anything of other parties, but compared to the mentioned it's much less. Also, it's very dependent on the election that is made - is it a smaller one or a big one? The far right is as present at smaller elections as at bigger ones, there is no difference in the impression. And it doesn't matter how much they've been talked to be broke.
