General election 2010: the people's election posters

Reader posters: Sam Dahl
Sam Dahl, Leigh: 'This is a comment on the bizarre game-show feel of the whole election and the apparent lack of an option for real change'

Reader posters: Mike Woodier
Mike Woodier, Littlethorpe: 'Same old politics or not?'

Reader political posters: Marshall Walker
Marshall Walker, Manchester: 'Be wary of becoming too occupied with voting someone out. You may lose sight of what you're letting in'
Photograph: Marshall Walker
Reader political posters: Tim Bradford
Tim Bradford, London: 'Sixty-one percent of registered voters actually voted in the 2005 general election. What would reformists and revolutionaries of previous centuries think of our apathy?'

Reader political posters: Thomas Croft
Thomas Croft, Wirral: 'The Tories can spend £80,000 on a revamped logo design, but it's still the same old message'

Reader political posters: Stan Madeley
Stan Madeley, London: 'My inspiration? My wife who recently ran into a Lib Dem official on the high street and came away with a large picture of Nick Clegg, which she now swoons over nightly'

Reader political posters: Richard Evans
Richard Evans, London: 'It's a uniquely exciting election, and has obvious parallels with a three-way shoot-out climax'

Reader political posters: Keith Mottram
Keith Mottram, London: 'An unsubtle comment on the unspeakable aspect of our "democracy" – our unelected head of state'
Photograph: Keith Mottram
Reader political posters: Jon Egan
Jon Egan, Liverpool: 'I think Labour has failed to exploit the Conservatives' greatest potential weakness – their inherent creepiness'
Photograph: Jon Egan
Reader political posters: Guy Denning
Guy Denning, Finistere, France: 'If the public had a ballot option of "none of the above", we might see that they're not politically apathetic after all'
Photograph: Guy Denning
Reader political posters: Denby Richards
Denby Richards, Windsor: 'As a lifelong Labour supporter this is a bit tongue-in-cheek. As Sarah seems to have humanised Gordon, we should appeal to public sympathy for her to get Labour re-elected'

Reader political posters: Darren Maughan
Darren Maughan, Kent

Reader political posters: Daniel Gosling
Daniel Gosling, Brighton: 'There is a real chance the Green Party will win in Brighton, but it is always worth reminding people that victory is contingent upon them turning up to vote'

Reader posters: Mike Murphy
Mike Murphy, Halifax: 'My inspiration was living through the divisive mean-spirited times of Margaret Thatcher and seeing the same old wolf in sheep's clothing, tricking the British electorate again'
Photograph: Mike Murphy
Reader political posters: Ben Serbutt
Ben Serbutt, London: 'I saw the original version of this poster and was quite bothered by it as the Tories are presenting themselves via a slick PR and poster campaign, as something they are not – ie inclusive. So here is my modified poster'
Photograph: Ben Serbutt
Reader political posters: Alex Bell
Alex Bell, Halifax: 'Ironically, it was a dearth of inspiration in any of the three main parties that led to my submission'
Photograph: Alex Bell
Reader political posters: Jo Udall
Jo Udall, London: 'Nevermind, it will all be over soon'
