Does anyone else think posters are a total waste of time and resources? I don't get them at all - what are they supposed to do - boost profile? They should be banned imo.
Believe it or not, they do work, particularly for new candidates. Parties (like my own) wouldn't spend a huge pile of money and resources on getting them in place if they didn't work. A ban on posters would favour incumbent candidates over new candidates.Does anyone else think posters are a total waste of time and resources?

So FF will be in big trouble if BIFFO Cowen ever takes over from Bertie then? I think this election is less 'presidential' than before, as shown by the difference between the party ratings and the leader ratings in the opinion polls. In the last Irish Times MRBI poll, Rabitte was up but Labour were down, PDs were up but McDowell was way down etc.Yes, they do work, by creating smiley face politics. This is one of the things wrong with our democracy - get your face on as many posters as you possibly can and you stand a decent chance of winning the beauty contest!
Is it just me, or is Bertie cross-eyed on his main poster? I suspect some Photoshopping was involved, but he certainly seems to be able to watch traffic coming from both directions simultaenously!I see loads of defaced FF posters already. My favourite is Bertie with a speech bubble "I am only a bollix"
OK, I went to work, got a scissors and the poster including tag, is now in my office. Not displayed, tucked out of sight.
