I noticed on a another thread Small willy Stein or one his chums had called Labours rather strange posters embarrassing.
If you were a labour supporter would you feel ok putting one up?
Whats the point of the posters for any party...do they effect the vote or are they just a simple straw poll. Labours Vote Hratche posters may not be that good but at least they are interesting. And I have seen one or two about in Lewes and heard people talking about them.
Normans Dayglo ones are everywhere
Jasons lighter shade of pale - zero.

I like them, they are original and make a point. If nothing else I give them marks for trying to do somthing different.

Shame about the misspelling of 'surrounding' in the first paragraph of the website - they'll never win locally!

I rather like them. They are very different to the run of the mill in your face political poster. Perhaps other parties should try something original sometime.

They may not win locally, but with Norman safe, every vote for them will mean that the campaigns they are fighting for won't be ignored after the election, and that's good enough for me.

Lewes Trousers, I'm not a mate of 'Small Willy' Stein
As a Graphic Designer, and Labourite, those posters made me cringe with embarrassment when I walked past them the other day.
Although Labour no longer have a hope in Lewes, it does beg the question about the man's judgement. Does he seriously think that by 'having a bit of a laugh' with the campaign 'posters' anybody is any more likely to vote for him?
It was a crap idea, tossed-off by an amateur. His credibility just sunk even lower. Why it was embarrassing for me was this is how crap our labour candidate is, it's a joke.

Certainly much more interesting than the others - like the candidates. Labour has the most interesting there too. (apart, perhaps from that UKIP nutcase).
I'd give them 8/10 flair and chutzpah.
D'you think that Norman will benefit form the Clegg effect? An awful spectre materialises of Norman as a cabinet Minister! Aagh!

my concern now is Clegg will not work with Brown and the spectre of Norman in a Tory Cabinet! All those people voting norman to keep the tory out will look pretty stupid
