Who says you can’t have a chuckle about EU politics? Cédric Puisney has produced these spoof European Parliament election posters – CC License / Flickr. I especially like the Barrosloth one! 🙂 The original, serious posters are here.

He could likewise have drawn the conclusion that stopping the lot is now more likely too.
This is a handy thread from Nick. But Kinnock and Flint aren’t bridging this chasm.
16/ Kinnock: 'We made the point the more the debate has radicalised and polarised the closer you get to No Deal. We’ve been playing with fire for a very long time. We’re in a situation where we have to compromise. If we lose that ability it’s only the extremists who benefit.'
This is where there needs to be a MASSIVE leap of faith!
14/ She also points out parliament is 'more fractured' now after defections. 'It’s about in the end trusting PM Johnson at his word that he wants to try and secure a deal, but also that there’s still a majority in parliament cross-party who would like to get a deal through.'
This is a viable route.
*BUT* it's harder for Labour MPs to hold their noses and vote with Johnson than it was to vote with May
Faced with that a successful VONC - followed by a centrist interim PM - is more likely IMHO
And that's on the #BrexitDiagram...
Have been pondering over a theory about Johnson's behaviour. Tl;dr - it could possibly represent a better recongition of the realities of the current Commons and may even offer one of the few routes to winning a Commons majority for (some kind of) deal
LOL Thanks for sharing! They’d definately get more votes than the originals! hehe
😀 These certainly work better than the original ones. More this kind of creative and funny thinking to the elections! Not an easy job.
Jo – fair point… I wasn’t asked but would be happy to work on these more.
great posters, but can’t they get a native speaker to check the wording? My French is pretty good but I’d think twice before using it on posters without checking with a francophone first…
nice posters its funny but its really attractive…good post
They’re more likely to get me to vote than the originals. Brilliantly done.
I like it! Funny moment on the day!
For once, a real choice for EU citizens. I’m going to vote for the posters with humour.
