Economic Propaganda
The battle over the economy and the way to fix it seems to be growing. Both sides are aiming to win the hearts and minds of the average voter.
The Conservatives have a very clever - one could almost say iconic - poster:
And Labour have a more indepth propaganda campaign, trying to portray David Cameron as economically illiterate [click to see the whole thing]:
Which is more effective? For direct impact, most certainly the Conservative poster. But for deeper long-term impact, the Labour propoganda wins because it is a lot more detailed - even though wrong and deeply simplified.
It is also interesting that the Labour propaganda is a lot more web-friendly that the Conservatives, being embeddable [though not here, as it is simply too big, which is a bit of a mistake]. And the Tories “Tax Bombshell” poster doesn’t even appear to be on their website. I had to get the image above from a newspaper.

That is a mistake. The max width here is about 570px, which is about as big as you get on a blog with a decent sidebar.

Matt, it’s 900px wide, which is bigger than some screens! And it won’t shrink down.
