As for the Greens, I refer you to <a href="http://allsandm.blogspot.com/2007/05/popes-poster-children.html" rel="nofollow">my own blog</a> where I have a picture of the Greens failing miserably to practice what they preach. The "if you can't beat 'em join 'em" argument doesn't cut it for me, particularly with the Greens. Surely they would impress more environmentally-conscious floating voters by using other public channes to get across the message that fewer posters are better. “If you don’t have them up people begin to think you don’t have a campaign together at all.”

To make it 'fair' any likely coalition partnership could go on a tandem. The site of Bertie and McDowell in dayglo lycra on a tandem wheezing around Stephen's Green would settle this election with few casualties.

All they do is give a presence. If you don't have them up people begin to think you don't have a campaign together at all. Damned if you, damned if you don't it seems.
