It s always like this every three years.
Posters are a chronic vice of our elections, like vote-buying and flying voters.
In many civilized countries, posters are not used as scandalously as we use them here. In fact, in some of our own better-regulated communities, they are hardly used at all. Under our election laws, posters are restricted as to size, source and the places where they may be pasted. All these strictures are blithely ignored. That s their way of sneering at the law.
