Madam Democracy takes time for a picture underneath Mincing Lane street sign in the City of London
Vote Leave campaigner Madam Democracy suffered for her cause on her cameo outing as I found out on the warm humid day of 21st June 2016. Meeting up along the South Bank of London was no difficult task as the costume of choice easily stands out in any crowd. A mixture of latex, leather and PVC are the order of the day and can only be described as alternative. The outfit has similarities to the EU, Madam Democracy claims in that it is restrictive, uncomfortable and oppressive. Wearing the costume also gives a controlling feel for the wearer too. Carrying two boarded posters is also heavy and cumbersome making the task seem inefficient, rather like the way the EU decamp once a month from Brussels to Strasbourg. The same theme is also displayed as the front poster carries the statement - Sick being tied down and gagged by the EU. While the back states “I’m being screwed by the EU. Covering ground from Waterloo Station through to the Houses of parliament. Along Whitehall and into the City before a brief stop at Canary Wharf, finishing back at Waterloo where the “I’m In” campaigners gather to catch the commuters home trip. Madam Democracy believes it was worth it if it got the message over to those who are unsure on which way to vote. As well as those who may need enlightening on their views too. Perhaps it is seen as taking a light-hearted approach on a very serious subject but it has been a great way to get the reasons for leaving over the interested public. Image taken on 21st June 2016
