Election signs: another blight on a blighted landscape?

The Green Party's proposal of a moratorium on election signs on public property is not gaining traction in Kingston.

Other parties don't seem to be signing on to a Green party plan to reduce "visual pollution" in Kingston, Ont., during the federal election campaign. The party is advocating that parties voluntarily keep public spaces free of election signs and limit them to private property — an idea that both the Liberals and the NDP supported in 2006.

Too bad, election signs are such a waste of material and money, and annoying visual pollution to boot.
