Perhaps our political parties should follow the Queen's example.

Her wreath is made out of poppies, and is not used to promote anyone other than rememberig the fallen.

A discreet card is fine, saying who it's from, but a wreath carrying an obvious logo, used as some sort of self promotion/advertising, is more than a bit naff.

Just my opinion, but using people's deaths for means other than rememberance, gets on my goat.
