Winners and losers in ‘poster war’ for Bangkok governor election

[webfact]

 

Controversy has erupted over the size – and sheer proliferation – of campaign posters on Bangkok streets, as city governor hopefuls vie for voter attention ahead of the May 22 election — the first since 2013.

 

Early-bird candidates were erecting their campaign posters at prominent spots, mainly roadside power poles, even before getting their candidacy numbers. The larger the posters and the greater their number, the better.

I am rather keen on the young lady with the pink poster.  She is not hard on the eyes and is kind of hot.  The rest of them ... i guess i would shoo them away if they tried to get on my property.

It would be okay if they would remove the posters once the campaign was over, unfortunately they tend to leave them where they put them ????

Apply sign tax on them. Then they'll soon disappear......
