General Election 2015

Not enough poor, black and young people bother to vote. That is their fault and are wasting their chance to make a change.

What a horrible ad

What is vile about prominent Black British athletes, actors etc trying to ensure that black people vote and reflect the cultural make up of Britain ? Creepy? Deeply disturbing ?

"Where have I heard that before?"

If you think that the term leftist is somehow indicative of how manly and non quiche eating you are then you are seriously deluded. The term itself is an Americanism that makes little sense to a British audience. Everyone in Europe are to the left of America so it carries no gravitas whatsoever. It is to be quite frank, laughable, quaint and endearing and not at all the insult you believe it to be.

I may be by voting either Green or for the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition, one of the more extreme "leftist" posters here, but even moderate left leaning posters like

Master who will be voting Labour is "Leftist"
Dia,Rhun and most of Wales whoever they vote for, are happy to be called "leftist"
Ryan who will vote tactically for Labour is "leftist"
Many people in the civilised world outside of American would be quite happy to be described as "leftist". It's not something to be ashamed of.

Ade Adepitan the guy in the poster is not trying to convince you of anything, but if you think trying to convince Black people to vote is racist then you seem a bit confused.
