Election Posters
Due to the current election, I've made a new game for myself when driving (or really being driven) around; I play spot-the-election-support-poster. I tend to keep a count and see who is the most visibly supported. Some of it is quite interesting - Wirksworth appears to be Labour (4) with Lib Dem (3) a close second. Duffield, much more Lib Dem (4) than anything else. Ripley is equally divided by Labour and the BNP with one of each - they're obviously very enthusiastic there about everything. Many farms are Conservative territory, but I have only seen perhaps one or two Tory posters outside of a farm, one in Derby North and one in Matlock Bath. Obviously this isnt very scientific at all - I only see the posters that are near the roads, and only see some roads in any given place.
I went to Sheffield last night, and noted the vast numbers of Lib Dem signs (12 LD, 2 Labour). I commented at the time that it was unusually high, as if it was Nick Clegg's seat or something. Course, it turns out that yes, it was Nick Clegg's seat... so he probably doesn't have to worry.
