Some people have allowed political party hoardings to be erected in their front yards. There's one for the Greens and one for NZ First that I ride past, inside people's fences rather than on council land by the road. I'm worrying that people are being mercenary and unscrupulous and giving space to promote parties they don't agree with, just for money. And if they're not, that means they're putting up signs telling everyone who they're going to vote for. What's the point of a secret ballot if people do that?

Do the parties pay people to put up the signs? I don't think ours can give any incentive like that. It's just for people who want to show their support in a public way.

Also: in Toronto, for our federal election last month, someone went around cutting brake lines on cars in front of houses with Liberal Party signs. :P That just made more Liberals ask their riding offices for signs, and even some non-Liberals asked for Liberal signs too after that.
