Right and Justice Party - Bratislava, 2012

The text reads: "Are you already angry and disillusioned by everything that has happened (with the Gorilla scandal)?", "Don't vote for those which stole from us and deceived us", "Let's vote for number 7", "Right and Justice supports (the website) white revolution.sk". This is another new party with lots of advertising but little substance to their platform beyond claiming to be nationalist corruption fighters. The large letters on the billboard which are first seen by the viewer, "Let's not vote" will attract the attention of those who are against all the political parties and likely would not go and cast a ballot for any party. Their 'white revolution' website pushes for an anti-corruption campaign using symbolic white ribbons, rather like those used in late 2011 by anti-Putin protesters in Russia. On the other hand, the 'white revolution' tag also makes the party sound like an advocate for extreme nationalists and white supremacists, unintentionally or not.
