No new ideas in politics

Quite an interesting Twitter campaign attacking Labour has begun in the past few days. A voice from 2015 imagines a dark future where Labour win the 2010 election and invites people to contribute on how that future might look.

I find it particularly interesting as the supporting poster campaign is very familiar. It has a very distinctive visual of five years being scratched, prison cell style, into a dark concrete wall with the headline ‘5 more years hard Labour?’

This poster is very close to a concept we created for an article that ran in The Independent on Sunday a while back (read about it here, here and here - HEAR, HEAR, HEAR! ORDER!!).

I’m not really suggesting any wrong doing here as this particular idea didn’t get published but it has been up on our blog and various other bloggers have linked to it on occasion too, so the idea has been out there and visible. But, you know, there’s no such thing as a new idea I suppose. Just ask the Conservatives. (In fact, as David Cameron is making it his business to chat to everyone at the moment you can ask him when he gives you a call).
