There's a time and place for literary nitpicking, and this probably isn't it

I'm off out to vote shortly. Just to make sure I haven't missed anything crucial, I had another look at the manifestos of the two parties I've been vacillating between.

Is it wrong to feel more affectionate towards one party because their manifesto is snappy, specific, well-written and has nice fonts and nice graphic design, while the other is full of densely packed, long, rambly sentences of vague upper-manglement-speak that made my head swim?

Never mind foreign affairs, education or the economy! Check out the use of sans-serif!


Edit (back now): And I didn't realise UKIP's logo was a pound sign. Ew, how tacky.

Rubbish. Some of the worst graphic design I've ever seen occurs when some fool buys an expensive system they've no idea how to use and then presses all the buttons that make things 'shiny'. They then go on to laminate their 'masterpiece'.

We seem to be operating under opposite assumptions concerning whether or not the parties do the graphic design for their own leaflets. I thought not.
