To protest or to advertise your political party

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | opinion/analysis author Thursday July 28, 2005 01:10author by No logo just priciples Report this post to the editors

What are your real reasons to turn up at a protest march?

The line between advertising and just plain protesting and lending support? Have we lost the plot

Im getting really sick of people turning up to protests with political banners promoting the fact that they belong to a certain political party.

There is a childish tendancy, much like sheep, to march in a group of people from the same political party.

Baaahahahahahahhaaaa!

In some cases the political party banners are bigger than those which are specific to the protest!

Would it be possible to have marches which maintain the core message by not having any mention of political parties?

I find the gratuitous self promotion of political parties distasteful and distracting - "here take this banner, sponsored by Sinn Fein or the SWP"

"NO piss off, I'd prefer to march with no banner rather than promote your party"

"I am attending a public protest not a party political publicity stunt"

Leave your political party at home when you go out to a public march in future please, keep it neutral and mainstream - just march for the cause in question and dont try to get free advertising

How impossible is that? Would noone turn up?

The floor is open......
