Signs still up after the election.

Postby WeeTownWeeYin » Sun May 08, 2011 8:39 pm

Just a small post to mention something I noticed earlier when out and about.
"Vote Snp" signs are still covering many lamposts etc all over town even althought the election was on thursday? :S surely these signs should have been taken down days ago?
No other party have left their signs up for so long. I thought there was actually a rule about the amount of time they are left up for. Just hoping that this "laziness" from the Kintyre Snp's doesn't reflect on the way the Snp government in Holyrood will conduct themselves!
Might seem a trivial thing, but warning signs flash when as soon as the election is done with these things are forgotten!

Maybe you are right - we should have another election. The laziness shown by the Govenmnet since it was elected on Friday has been astounding.

Seriously, there are signs still up for all (mainstream) parties right across Glasgow and central Scotland.
Should Scotland be an Independent country?

Yes, I believe Scotland is a country and should therefore govern itself.
No, Scotland is not a country it is simply part of the UK and should therefore be governed from London.

I have to say I agree with Hume here - the election only took place a few days ago, and I saw a man taking down the Labour signs just yesterday. Incidentally, the SNP had their signs up long before any of the other parties in Campbeltown.

You have to be joking with this one? The election was only held on Thursday with the result announced on Friday!

Sorry, posters all down WeeTownWeeYin - till next year barring a snap General Election, which is a distinct possibility. If you want to give us a hand getting them down quicker next time give me a shout, we are always looking for volunteers ;)
