general election signage
i was just thinking that this must be a great time for sign/printing companies with all the promotion material getting done. But where does it all go, Do labour,conservative lib dems etc have certain companies they deal with all the time, or is it all tendered out?

Thing is – the council jumps down our throats if anyone puts a temporary sign up on a lamp post anywhere..but it’s OK for our dirty lazy corrupt political parties to go putting electioneering posters up everywhere without planning permission

come to think of it, that was last summer and he still hasn’t stripped it!
i did do three lots of boards for local bods at the last local elections (poss the european?) last summer, two conserv’s and a lab, both were obviously told "yes of course mr *****, you’ll get my vote!

I’ve been approached by all of them here. As I don’t vote, it actually works in my favour, as they know I’m not supporting their opposition either.
Last election I did work for both Labor and conservative parties.
For what its worth, the conservative parties made me within 7 days, the Australian Labor party eventually paid me when I threatened to put the debt in the hands of a debt collector.
Phil, the candidates do the same here. The law in Oz states that you must remove illegal signage within 6 weeks of being notified it is illegal. Our politicians only put up their signs 6 weeks from the day of the election, so they get full use of the law. If they remove them the day after the election, they’ll not be fined.

Asked to quote on some vehicle mags for the local blue lot. I was competitive with other local quotes but they went to the co they used previously who were quoting half the price 😮
Told the guy, even if I was voting for them I wouldn’t do it for that and rather have a lay in.
