OK, here it goes.  Pour out your hearts, serious, funny, whatever.  Lets make up until Thursday's result is known as interesting as possible.

I'll start....

RIGO says

The Labour Party will win with a clear majority AT LEAST 100 seats ... immediately call a Leadership Ballot and elect Caroline Flint who will give this area such prominence that an Arab Oil Shiek Billionaire will (on hearing of Rovers for the first time) buy the Club - get planning permission for a new 60000 Stadium on the Old Belle Vue site - give SOD a fighting fund to buy Given Gerrard Torres and others and so ensure we will be in the Premiership this time next year .... OR .... he will eat DOGS BO**OCKS (with or without sweet and sour sauce)

oh dear, Forgot to quote Rob's post...

But anyway these spoof ads were totally foreign to me and I wondered if they were actually used!

Then I saw this story:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/election_2010/8608122.stm

Amazing really as the spoofs use the colors of that party, so unless you actually read the poster, you may not realize which party is sponsoring them!

It would never happen in the US, as we go by the colors (so we don't have to read it)!  ;)

But I like it!  :)

I found the one with Brown hilarious. Not because the Tories are right, but the background image was what they produced under Thatcher.
