Do you put / are you open to putting Election Candidate Signs on your Lawn?

[Admiral Yi]

If I had my own place I'd be happy to put up a yard sign.

Fat Boy for President.

[Tonitrus]

[katmai]

I have put up  signs in past and would be willing to do so again.

[viper37]

Not sure if election signs is a thing in Europe but as we're in election mode in both Canada and the US thought i'd ask. 

I imagine Barrister Boy already has his giant Conservative Party of Canada billboard up in his front yard... what about everyone else?

No.  I don't want to offend clients that don't think like me.

[Martinus]

I am surprised by the answers from some people here, like katmai - I guess it must really be a cultural thing.

Here (and, I suspect, in most of Europe), most people wouldn't do it, and it wouldn't be for reasons listed in the "NO" option - simply put, being apparently so much into politics that you would be willing to display your candidate's sign in your lawn, would mark you as a loon.

In Poland, it is borderline acceptable to fly the national flag in your window during major holidays (and even that varies from a person to a person and from a holiday to a holiday). I don't do it, for example, and not sure about my parents (they did it during the "unofficial" holidays, such as the 3th of May/Constitution Day, when it wasn't a holiday, during the communist era, as a sign of defiance).

Here in Belgium there are a lot of signs on private property. I never did it or will never allow it. My Gf's parents did for the Christian Democrats because a friend of them was running for them.

And the govt provides also big boards to every party. In election time there's a lot of visual clutter in Belgium.

[The Larch]

This is simply not done in Spain. The parties themselves already plaster their posters and the faces of their candidates everywhere anyway.

It was funny when I was in Austria a couple of years ago, in the countryside it was quite frequent to see displays in the fields, with hay bales piled up doing the letters of the party being promoted and the like, mostly OVP.

[Josephus]

NO. Not my thing.

[Duque de Bragança]

Only saw a few party acronyms quickly painted in Portugal. They may stay for years though, until a repaint. Sometimes, PS becomes PSD 
Far from being common, more like rare. In the countryside mostly.
As for France, no space in Paris to do that, never seen it and I do not really know the countryside.

In both cases, there are too many posters of parties and candidates everywhere.

[Brazen]

We don't have election signs, but some people put posters saying "Vote SMITH Labour" with the name of the local candidate etc. in their windows. It might as well say "Insert BRICK here."

[garbon]

Those are basically the same as most election signs in American yards, B.

[derspiess]

Generally no.  I generally don't want to throw my politics in someone else's face.  But in 2012 pretty much everyone on my street had a sign for one guy or the other, so I figured I'd join in.  Going by the yard signs, Romney won 80+% of my street. 

[lustindarkness]

Only signs on the front of the house is Vivint Security, oh and sometimes there may be a lawncare service sign for a few days.

[Norgy]

It meant something to me before to signal my political affiliation. I sometimes wear a t-shirt, but believe me, the parties are more than capable of plastering public space with posters.

[Caliga]

On the lawn at my old house, we have had signs for local candidates, and...

...


...Rand Paul.

People liked to put signs up there since it was a corner lot.  With our permission, of course.
