Election Leaflet Ratings
Since 2007 I have rated election leaflets that have been pushed through the door. I think it's interesting to see how much political parties have promoted themselves over the years.
- Council by-election 2025, Election Day additional leaflets and my Election Reflection
- General Election 2024 - preview and post-election review
- Council Election 2022
- Senedd Election 2021 - preview post, leaflet review and post-election round up
- (Regrettably I didn't do a review of the 2019 General Election leaflets)
- General Election 2017 part 1, part 2 and post-election round up
- Welsh Assembly Election 2016 part 1 and part 2
- General Election 2015
- Parliamentary by-election, Cardiff South & Penarth, 2012, and polling day update
- Welsh Assembly Election and Refferendwm 2011 - didn't actually review the leaflets, but they got mentioned in my post about voting. Plus there was a scary leaflet from Plaid Cymru.
- General Election 2010
- European Parliament Elections 2009
- Council Elections 2008 - Desperate Liberals, followed by Plaid Cymru's Wombles reference, and finished off with "Plaintive Communists".
- Welsh Assembly Election 2007 with additional update 1 and update 2
A racist leaflet from UKIP (2009)
