My neighbour...completely normal, late 20s, single mum just put up an SNP poster in her living room window for all her neighbours and passerby's to see. Is there really any need? Must we know the party she supports and who she'll be voting for on May 6th?

When I spotted it (hard to miss, bright yellow) I just cringed and rolled my eyes, I think it's a bit of a display and I'm not sure what the purpose is for.

In our constituency it’s always a close toss up between Tories/LibDems - currently LDs.

But for every Con poster you see there will be 20 for the LDs. Now I wonder why that is? 😉

@UnderHisAye, given that some people can be openly abusive about other people’s political leanings, it’s pretty obvious why many like to keep quiet about them.
I’m assuming you wouldn’t want to return to the days before the secret ballot?

It's obvious why some people want to be quiet about it.

What's not obvious is why the OP is branding as 'uncouth' people who are happy to share their views.

I did a Politics degree, if politics wasn't discussed my career would look pretty different right now.

@Summerdayshaze

Jesus, you can’t do anything now. Everything is fucking ostentation.

It's always "ostentation" to the type of people like OP who want to suppress anything they don't understand.

I love it. I don't put gaudy lights up in December, I hope you don't either OP.
