I don't believe a poster has swayed a single voter from changing their vote or a non voter being inspired to vote.
A load of nonsense, those who stick up a board or poster are v mainly about sycophants sucking up to the local party in hope of a favour, cllr opportunity etc etc

If I am an undecided voter, wanting to vote Independent, I might decide to vote for the one who has demonstrated (a) a significant level of support among others (b) the organisational skill to get a loads of posters done and delivered, rather than the ones who are invisible. More generally, in a constituency where it is not clear whether Party B or Party C is the better able to defeat Party A, I might notice that there are many more posters for B than for C and decide to vote tactically accordingly. I have occasionally thought that if I emigrated to live in another country which uses FPTP (e.g. India), I might want to get specific local knowledge about which parties are strong locally so that it can help me to decide effectively or tactically or whatever. |

Funny, I regard the first statement as possibly arguably bollocks but the second statement very often truthful |

When we won 2 seats in Mortlake in 1998, we were able to do so only because voters believed that we were in the running. A really impressive display of Labour posters was a vital component in helping to create that perception.

Indeed. I only got elected to the Oxford Union as an independent by messaging around 1,000 people and converting likes on memes into first preference votes.

That was also my experience winning a previously Labour held ward in which we hadn't been in contention for some time. Window posters helped and were worth the time and effort.

It turns out that the candidate for whom I saw the most posters (Jaginder Singh) came 11th out of 12 candidates, with 295 votes. The other candidate for whom I only saw one poster (Sangeet Bhail) was 8th with 557.

Is Deirdre Costigan the first-ever MP to have a ring through their nose?
