Two weeks ago we had the Scottish Elections and everywhere the various political parties fixed their party signs to lampposts etc.. why oh why do they take so long to take 'em down.. Today outside the Factory Shop in Wick there is still a 'Ban Bankers Bonus Party' sign still attached - are they just plain lazy or ashamed to be seen taking them down, anyone else seen any more of the lazy gits?

What I wonder is if these signs actually change anyones mind or do anything at all, like does someone walk down the street and go "herpity derpity derp, oh look a sign for [party] I think I'll vote for them"

I understand that they have 2 weeks to take down posters. After that the Highland Council will write to the agents.

I believe if the signs are not removed the individual parties are charged for each sign removed by the council, it is a pretty hefty charge - it was at least in Edinburgh, think it is a standard charge per poster in Scotland.
