I was watching a debate with the three front runners for the London Mayoral Election (Boris Johnson – Conservative, Ken Livingston – Labour, Brian Paddick – Liberal Democrat) on Sunday, and I realised that I wouldn’t really want any of them to be in charge of a city that I lived in, they were squabbling like kids. How much is it to ask that we have political figures that I can actually respect?
Since I don’t live in London it doesn’t effect me that much, but I’d imagine its a pretty confusing position for Londoners to be in, having to pick the best of a bad bunch, and I think that this latest couple of tees from Mingled highlights the situation pretty well. For those of you that don’t recognise the faces, Boris’ face is on the Vote Ken tee, and Ken’s face is on the Vote Boris tee. They’ve also made the Vote Boris tee red, which is traditionally Labour’s colour, but the Vote Ken tee is in green, which is a little odd since you’d expect them to carry on the party-switching by making it a blue tee, which would be the Conservatives traditional colour, unless they really being politically astute and recognising how David Cameron has been saying that a vote for the Conservatives is a green vote because of all his promised green initiatives….and that paragraph above provides you with an excellent example of why I don’t write about politics anymore… because it’s all incredibly confusing. Props to Mingled for taking their products shots outside of City Hall!
Costiness=$19.99 Vote Ken/Vote Boris

glad boris got in, ken had been in too long and had started to stray from the things that are important to londoners. no one should be allowed to stay in power for more than 4 years, it’s just silly!
Nice, I really like these, Im thinking of doing something similar!
