Vote Green

This guy was not campaigning particularly hard. Just walking down the street with his message and a copy of the Green Party’s magazine.

They are fielding a candidate for Guildford in the forthcoming general election, but the chances of them gaining an MP anywhere in the UK are pretty slim due to our ‘winner takes all’ electoral system. It’s interesting to note that they have a couple of UK representatives in the European Parliament, which we elect on a proportional representation basis.

I'd say this fellow was pretty hungry for votes. Hope he likes your flavor!

Brilliant selective desaturation. I just knew from the thumbnail that he was campaigning (well sort of) for the Green Party!

Ok, I'm voting!

Good shot. You'd think they'd save the paper and not bother with a magazine.

It looks almost like Ben Stiller.
Nice shot, good selective green.

Looks like a Green Party candidate taking paper recycling a bit too seriously! :-)
