It is nice that it looks official, not like some dude with a vivid has vandalised it.

I love the "Drill it! Mine It! Sell it!" - got daft punk stuck in my head.

Haters gonna hate

Gotta give credit where it's due, those stickers are pretty high quality and it looks like a well executed plan. It was to be expected that nasty tactics would come up seeing National have retained their strong position going into the final two weeks of the campaign.

7/10 for effort and execution.

You can talk to a person about all National's policies, and they'll disagree with most of them.
Then ask them what party they're voting for, they'll say National.
I really don't get it. Is it the soothing nature of the colour blue? Is it that the name "National" sounds very official, the name "Labour" sounds like hard work? I would like to believe such trivial things don't affect votes. But to someone who knew nothing about either and wanted to place a vote, National does seem the one you'd just pick.

They can do all they like, but they're not really achieving anything as National is still going to win. Interesting how they didn't once use the word 'vandalised' in the article, as that's exactly what it is - vandalism. I'm not some strong National supporter, but it's interesting nevertheless.

You defended National on Reddit!? The blue arrows will blot out the sun!

Yep, the same people that stress transparency and liberal ideas (including the Greens circlejerk that r/nz has become) are the first to downvote anything that defends National. Oh the irony. I'm not even a National supporter, I was trying to take an unbiased viewpoint by stating the facts of the law. Sigh.

you sound kinda butthurt though?

Do I sound butthurt or do the people who have gone to all the effort to deface National billboards sound butthurt?

you just seem so eager to point out the vandalism, even though it was creatively / cleverly / tastefully done. either you really have a soft spot for temporary political billboards or youre a butthurt national supporter

Even though I like some of Banksy's work, it's still vandalism. It is what it is.

Maybe they are just really anti vandalism? The type that smashes down really cool murals with purple blotchy paint?

If you're going to vandalise, this is the way to do it. It's a step up from Hitler moustaches.
