We sent our photographers on the campaign trail to find out how the election is panning out on the streets of Brighton. They came back with a right old mix of hand-scrawled signs, graffitied billboards and a picture of a UKIP bike shop.
It must be disconcerting to realise that your postcode exactly determines your voting behaviour. Nice sympathetic colours here from the Hanover Terrace Labour gardeners.
But the Greens on Balfour Road clinch it with their variegated roadside shrubs.
But not all Green supporters live in leafy suburbs.
And sometimes postcode isn’t everything. This Tory stronghold on Beaconsfield Villas looks like it’s been goaded into a poster showdown by the riff-raff up the road.
Sometimes even the same household can’t decide where it stands.
While this Warleigh Rd residence seems to have simply stuck up everything that came through its door. (We don’t know who that man with the bike is.)
But we’re guessing he didn’t buy his bike from here. Brave old Grandad.
Other shops have gone for a somewhat safer position, like Gresham Blake here.
And Lush, who might be taking the animal rights thing a bit far.
Then again, you could say this Hove poster was taking the ‘all Scots are pickpockets’ thing a bit far.
In fact, some people did.
More green posters, just cos they’re everywhere.
Even on that outdoor gallery thing on New England Road.
And Elm Grove, where people have rather different priorities.
Hang on, what’s that brown stuff? Must be a smear campaign.
In the interests of balance, here’s one from the Labour youth movement.
We had to look high and low for another Tory poster. And we found it on a retirement home.
Finding a Lib Dem one was even harder.
We suspect many have gone the same way.
The People’s Assembly weigh in at Queen’s Park and Pelham Street.
The anarchists say their piece.
And there are some surprising results from Gloucester Road’s Pop-Up Poll Booth. Nigel and Dave steaming into the lead.
Ah, okay. Phew.
Don’t forget to vote.
