How do you feel about this poster advert that is purporting to inform people to vote in the EU election? |

hhmmm I think it's good that they're encouraging people to vote because it's important but it does give the impression that Nazis vote Yes

All I interpret from it is that the message is "an ethnic minority woman's vote is the same as a white males vote" - or am I missing something?

But the poster never states who is voting in and who is voting out? I get what you mean but you could argue it says more about us that we automatically assume the shouting white skinhead is voting out of the EU - why would it not be the woman?

I'm afraid I've been blinded by the bias so I can't actually see the picture.

It does suggest a racial divide on the issue...and that the angry white man is against the immigrant on the issue... And I really don't know who is on which side so that's my outside perspective

As someone who does not really follow politics or know what's really going on, I honestly had no idea who was on each "side" of the argument just looking at the photo. I just thought it was showing that everyone's vote is equal and you don't have to vote based on how intimidated someone makes you feel for not voting their way So I guess I'm that 0.01%

Its definitely a powerful message. Ethnic minorities are more likely to favour staying in the EU but they're also less likely to vote so its a good reminder that you can lose out if you don't participate in the democratic process.

If it had been a big black man shouting and wagging his finger at a little white granny there would have been hell on, and rightly so. The fact it's a white man wagging his finger and shouting at a little Asian granny is no less inflammatory, in my opinion.

They could have done without a skinhead pointing aggressively at an elderly Asian lady, though. There are other ways to get the message across than offend with horrible stereotypes, incite hatred and create division.
