    Ever get fed up with all that election rubbish that gets shoved through your letterbox by our 'beloved' politicians? All paid for by us poor taxpayers!! Well why not send them a clear message that we don't appreciate their rubbish being dumped on us at our expense! Just write 'Return to Sender' on each leaflet, and put it in your local postbox. If enough of us do this, we might just stop this annoying, moneywasting and polluting habit, and send a strong message to our politicians that we are not happy campers. :mad:

    While I appreciate where you're coming from, election literature is largely paid for out of the candidates' own pockets, and delivered by volunteers. Attempting to send it back through the postal system without a stamp, on the other hand, actually will cost the taxpayer money.
