The street where my in-laws live normally has a splattering of Lib Dem and Tory posters. This year, despite having county elections, there are none.
Indeed, from the hundreds of miles I have covered in the last few days, the scores on the doors in the poster battle are:
Tory 1
Labour* 1
Lib Dem 1
UKIP 1
Green 1
Plaid Cymru 1
* It should be noted that this voter is certifiably mad. In addition to displaying Labour posters at every election time, he also displays photos of Lady Di to commemorate the anniversary of her death.
What strange times we live in. Real anger on the doorstep but no display of that anger in the windows.

come north dear boy......straight up the M6....off at J35 and then onto the A6 towards Kendal. When you pass through the village of Milnthorpe you will see why there are no posters anywhere else.... they have congregated here.
your rural rides need to take in places where the scenery is more dramatic; the places are wilder; and the people are passionate.
On a rather shorter trip I saw only 3 poster - all UKIP.
