You have to wonder how many other election posters end up like this. Just not acceptable anymore. pic.twitter.com/0xMDLnvU0J

accidents arn’t acceptable?
Corrugated plastic election posters aren’t acceptable.
Election posters are completely pointless anyway, they are a waste of resources.
i think it was nigel (?) who posted a link to a study showing how influential posters are for, in particular, unknown/new candidates
Did he? I missed that.
If he does a drive by here he might share it again.
No study, I just suggested that a ban on posters favours the bigger more established parties and candidates. Someone may have linked to such a study but I missed it if they did.
I remember paper and paste election posters. More environmentally friendly, but the tattered remains would linger for months.
After the last local and Europen elections the local community farm turned posters into scarecrows.
don’t think so. they would have been printed with solvent inks (deadly to marine life) and glued (again some deadly substance) to a laminate MDF hardboard (less environmentally friendly than plastic considering manufacturing)
to believe the auld election posters glued to hardboard is in someway environmentally friendly is a lie.
Stop being an idiot, Billy.
They were printed on newsprint using scant amounts of black ink (with perhaps one or two small areas of spot colour) and pasted with wallpaper paste onto lamp posts, ESB poles, and PagusT poles, not to mention hoardings and any other vertical surface that was handy.
TOB is absolutely right when he says they were an eyesore for long after the elections as they slowly disintegrated.
propagate the lie if you like.
the greens are every bit the same as ff or fg. do as we say not as we do.
Stop being a Billy, idiot.
I said nothing about the Greens.
This article mentions a study by University College Cork: https://www.mywaste.ie/news/banning-them-is-a-red-herring-why-election-candidates-are-standing-over-their-use-of-posters/
Thank you, deluded. A little bit of digging has revealed that study formed the basis of the report “Reasons Behind Voter Behaviour in the Oireachtas Inquiry Referendum 2011” which was published by DPER in 2012, but their search page denies it.
On the other hand this study looked at how posters are wielded by large parties to assert dominance:

When I was in Poland there were no election posters, instead there was a display stand at the town hall with all the candidates.
Other people here have suggested a leaflet to each household.
… that was a poorly worded reply, my apologies. It made better sense in my head.
Behind the researchgate paywall, unfortunately. Pity.
if you voted for a green candidate who used plastic corriboard posters. they are useless liars who will deliver nothing and you are an idiot.
every green candidate used posters made from pasteurized hemp – same as late GE – that will have all vaporized by the end of this weekend
Who should we have voted for to adress climate change and biodiversity loss? Which ones had the biodegradable posters and fasteners? How come I never heard of these unicorns?
anyone but green.
they’re bigger liars than the rest.
do as we say. not as we do.
I know! saoirse mchugh, for example – tearing around achill in a big-fupp-off grand cherokee 4×4. makes me sick.
Bigger liars than Fine Gael who say they hear concerns about climate change while granting a drilling license?
