Claude Franklin, 177th Fighter Wing, New Jersey Air National Guard, alphabetizes online, motor vehicle, and hand-written voter registration forms at the Superintendent of Elections, Atlantic County, Mays Landing, N.J., Nov. 3, 2020. More than 370 New Jersey National Guard (NJNG) Soldiers and Airmen are assisting election officials in 19 counties by performing duties in support of the General Election.

This support is an extension of the Guard’s active role in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in New Jersey. (New Jersey National Guard photo by Mark C. Olsen)
Poster in Camden High Street, London, by Turner prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller mocking UK Prime Minister Theresa May's election slogan. Given that she relentlessly repeats her brainless mantra at every opportunity - despite performing numerous u-turns on policy - it was inevitable that someone would spoof it, as Deller has done at sites across London.

The finished piece.
Hand and machine embroidered, mounted on to a canvas backing
I usually make some sort of embroidered piece around the time of the general election and the only rule is that it has to be finished before the results are known.
These pieces are not for public display but are for my own amusement. They help me remember the issues and the personalities involved.

Class War election candidate Adam Clifford canvases in Soho London 11.04.2015
Cross-dressing Class War election candidate for the City of London & Westminster Adam Clifford held a colourful political canvassing parade through the streets of Soho, loudly and humourously condemning the gentrification of Soho which, he claims, is rapidly erasing the proud counter-cultural history of the area with pop-up boutiques, endless hipster cake shops and ownership by faceless foreign corporations. Working class residents, sex workers and many independent traders in Soho are being forced out of the area by evictions and rising rents as landlords and property developers clamour to increase their wealth at the expense of the poor who are being dislocated and purged from London's most vibrant district.

The Bullingdon Club was founded in 1780 as a hunting and cricket club. Two hundred years later, it was infamous for its distinctive uniform of tailcoats with white silk facings, and its heavy drinking and wild behaviour.
The Club is notorious for champagne-swilling, restaurant-trashing, “pleb”-taunting elitism. A woman who acted as a scout for potential members of the Bullingdon Club in the mid-1980s has said in the Guardian that female prostitutes performed sex acts at its lavish dinners, women were routinely belittled, and that intimidation and vandalism were its hallmarks. Her involvement with the club coincided with Boris Johnson’s membership and overlapped with David Cameron’s. The woman said: “The whole culture was to get extremely drunk and exert vandalism. Every time someone was elected, they had to have their room smashed to pieces. People talk about the Bullingdon Club ‘trashing’ places, but it was serious criminal damage.” Bullingdon members “found it amusing if people were intimidated or frightened by their behaviour. I remember them walking down a street in Oxford in their tails, chanting ‘Buller, Buller’ and smashing bottles along the way, just to cow people.”
The woman who was the club recruiter said: “Boris was one of the big beasts of the club. He was up for anything. They treated certain types of people with absolute disdain, and referred to them as ‘plebs’ or ‘grockles’, and the police were always called ‘plod’. Their attitude was that women were there for their entertainment.”
In 2013, Boris Johnson described it as “a truly shameful vignette of almost superhuman undergraduate arrogance, toffishness and twittishness”. He added: “But at the time you felt it was wonderful to be going round swanking it up.”
The woman who recruited members in Oxford in the 1980s said that she was horrified at the prospect of Johnson becoming prime minister. “The characteristics he displayed at Oxford – entitlement, aggression, amorality, lack of concern for others – are still there, dressed up in a contrived, jovial image. It’s a mask to sanitise some ugly features.”

The 40th Canadian General Elections are coming up so don't forget to vote!!!
I accidentally got off Ward Island today instead of Centre Island and while I was walking towards Centre Island I noticed all the election posters, so I figured I'd make my own election shout out!
I'm not really rooting for any of the parties (since I can't vote) but I know my friend will be happy by the colour choice of the poster! haha!
Labour Party Election Manifesto 2011
One Ireland - Jobs, Reform, Fairness
Fairness
Keep taxes fair and balanced. Under Labour in government, no one earning less than €100,000 will pay more income tax. Labour’s plan to close the gap in our public finances is split 50:50 between spending cuts and new revenue-raising measures.
A fairer, more affordable health system. Labour will reform the unfair two-tier health system to reduce the cost of delivering care, and use those savings to extend universal access to essential medical care. We will start by making access to primary care, such as GPs, more affordable.
Make literacy a national cause. No child should leave school unable to read and write. Labour has a plan to improve child literacy for the first time in a generation.
Equality is for everyone. Labour will hold a referendum on gay marriage rights.
