I can see people warming up their printers already for an unsigned, unstamped print

Brilliant from Banksy. Finally a huge edition that should enable 10,000 (or many many more) people to own a Banksy. Bet the high rollers on here are sh!tting themselves that their cartel of hugely inflated prints may lose some value after loads of these hit eBay.

It will actually have the opposite effect

those 6 constituencies combined contain an electorate in excess of 455,000 people.

That sounds like enough to sway an election, no?

Not really as this is only 6 MP's. Some constituencies are densely populated and others eg parts of Scotland are large geographically but are sparesely populated but they get an MP all the same.

6 MP's were some are already Labour voting wont make any odds.

I'd buy one for a tenner

Just a quick question:

How many of those constituencies mentioned is there already a Tory incumbent?

I hadn't thought the Tories were so popular in the Bristol area...

I think it's this:
Bristol West - thangham debbonaire, Labour
Bristol north west - Caroline leslie, Cons
North Somerset - Liam fox, cons
Thornbury - Luke hall, cons
Kingwood - Chris Skidmore, cons
Filton - jack lopresti, cons

How hard will it be to take a pic of the card in the booth?
They make you hand in your phones so you can't take a pic.

My only pal who lives in Bristol was called Tory boy at school so don't think I'll be getting any help with this one!

Guys there's no address mentioned so how do you know where to send your photo! Not gonna happen!

Sounds like he's had the idea, but not really thought about it.
It could be hundreds of thousands of emails, and they would need to record all of them to pick out duplicates. Would be an absolute nightmare!

Daniel, do you seriously think that they havent thought about ALL of this, including what you can and cannot do in a polling booth in the UK before putting it online ?

Banksy site hacked by the Russians (maybe ?)

[Art Fan 2011]

Just like with his "Petrol Bomb" poster, these will be faked to high heaven. The Brizzle crew will be buying in paper and ink by the tonne ready to flood the market will "genuine" Banksy products. Atleast prices will be kept low as there will be literally 1000's available

Never heard of that. Doesn't happen in Scotland anyway.

Never heard of that before or experienced it. The law appears to be you can't show anything identifiable in a photo, i.e the number code. You also can't tweet or post about your choice when in the polling booth. But when outside you can and that includes photos. The law is about making sure when in the booth your behaviour doesn't influence anyone else's vote.

[Art Fan 2011]

Sailing pretty close to the line too. Trying to influence people to vote a certain way by offering a reward must be frowned upon to say the least. Great way to do a release though.

by the way 😃

[Invaded 420]

Amazing idea. Really is fuckin genius. Gutted I won't be able to get one but stoked on all the people that can! Good luck people of Bristol and do the right thing, treasure it and #fuckthetories

[Poster Bob]

Anyone know of the legality of this? Can you actually provide something of a monetary value to someone for a vote? I see the disclaimer and I assume he consulted very good lawyers about it but it seems crazy to me that he could do this.

Oh dear my 3 year old just came past my computer and asked what the woman in your icon is doing! "why is she shaking her bottom like that?"

Its not genius, it is irresponsible and desperate

Quite a low swing as well - bribing people

Aimed at the weak minded.

What are the UK laws on vote buying?

Shes just "Dancing" 

Banksy is breaking the law on this one, be very surprised if he actually goes through with it, luckily no-one knows who he is. Its such a high profile stunt, it wont matter how good his lawyers are, you break the law, you will get caught. This will get real interesting !!!!

[sugar72]

Bribery - candidates or their supporters cannot give money or offer gifts to pursuade you to vote a particular way.

Saw the above on another borough council website. I am sure it must also apply in Bristol?

Are you allowed to take a photo of your ballot paper? I thought that was illegal?

Actually I was thinking the same. Here in Italy it's forbidden by law, I don't know in the UK.

I'm not sure but the legalities of this could shut it down before it even begins.

[sugar72]

Is it for real?

[seanburke]

"Has no monetary value" - this removes the bribe element.

This is going to be very interesting to say the least.

Incumbent just changed to candidate...
