A very effective poster. Despite the fact it got slammed for poor taste, i think the 1997 'demon eyes' campaign was the most memorable of recent times. I still remember those terrifying eyes peering out from behind the curtain when i was 11 in West Derbyshire!
I think the Tories might have shot themselves in the foot with this poster. If you make Tony Blair the centre of your poster, and only have 'Conservatives' in small writing at the bottom, who are people going to remember? They will have Tony Blair is their heads, albeit for the wrong reasons (as if any right reasons existed).
More successful advertising campaigns would be my "Believing in Britain" and "Better Off With the Blues" slogans.

... a poll that says it all:
LAB 34(-1), CON 31(-1), LD 25(+2) from You Gov
Does it?

I think it's a great poster, but is it too negative?
