I think these Conservative ones are hilarious. Do they not know how gullible this country is? People driving past won't even tell that it's a Conservative thing due to the fact the writing at the bottom (the key bit which says "Or vote for change, vote Conservative") is so tiny you can hardly read it. And they'll vote for crazy eyes in their droves.

Or how about these?

Judging by the colour of Camerons cheeks these last few days he must have taken a few hits.:)

that would be the modern tories all right.

trying to get in on labour's failures rather than their own credentials.

I find attacking labour for increasing the gap between rich and poor disgusting considering the tories wont reverse that trend.

To be fair the Tories have offered more solid economic policies than Labour - http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereport...ril_fools.html

What's hilarious is that they have the biggest smile Gordon's ever managed next to a seemingly positive headline, and the key bit at the bottom is so small that when you drive past it you can't read it.

Massive own goal from the Tory ad campaigners there.....

If you think that "I caused record youth unemployment" can be perceived as seemingly positive, I can guess that Labour has your vote in the upcoming general election....;)

At least the Tories can be rightly proud of YTS schemes, oh no not really as it was all a sham.

Both parties are as bad as each other.

A good Tory vote winning poster can be found HERE

The simple solution in that case Moldova is to vote Lib Dem. It's something I hope a lot of people in the North will consider doing rather than blindly voting Labour because they think the Tories and Labour are as bad as one another.

This does ignore welfare lifers whose Labour votes are bought and paid for, those are understandable.

Strange, isn't it - if someone displayed a poster stereotyping labour voters as work-shy dole-scrounging layabouts, watching Sky Sports on their giant plasma TV, surrounded by lots of dirty kids and Staffordshire Bull Terriers, there would be a huge outcry. :dozey:

But I suppose reverse-snobbery is acceptable.....

(btw, I never have, or intend to, hunt foxes, and neither do the hundreds of people I know who vote Tory - then again, most of my Labour-voting friends don't keep whippets or wear flat caps ;))

I will not vote for George Howarth who is our local MP and nor would I ever vote Tory as they have never been a party for the people regardless of who votes for them.

I will vote but as I have opted for a postal vote so no excuses or apathy here.

To correct that one, no doubt labour are soft on children but they have come down very hard on childless welfare claimants. However the tories blew their chance to steal those votes by announcing a policy thats even tougher and unreasonable. Of course the majority of the country are welfare claimaints. Thanks to silly things like a non means tested child benefit.

Personally I will either not vote (dont see the point as stronghold labour area on crappy fptp system) or will vote lib dem.

To be brunt the tories are the party for the people who only care about the cash in their own pocket as they love tax cuts. Since its not really a sellable policy as people will know savage spending cuts have to be made to fund tax cuts then the tories just concentrate on discrediting the opposition instead.

eg. they attack labour on youth unemployment yet are planning to cut funding for youth training and apprenticeship schemes.
they attack on the gap between rich and poor and will cut inheritance tax for the rich.
they attack on the running of the economy but plan to cut investment in the public sector very severely which will only increase unmemployment.
they attack on the how labour handling of the banks yet the tories for short term gains plan to sell those shares on the cheap. Guess who will snap most of them up.
they claim they will get people on incapacity benefit back into work, the truth is they will just unconditionally cut their income and leave them to rot after that.
if I was a multi miilionaire who owned tons of land yep I want the tories in power, I cant think of what they will do for the average working class tho.
