Is Politics Just a Matter of Taste?

Well, you can now vote with your stomach in Indie Ices special ice cream Party poll-  after all, good parties need ice cream!

An award winning ice cream Company from Roundhay, is trying to predict the election result by allowing the electorate to vote with their stomach, by the sale of colour co-ordinated party political ice cream flavours.

 Indie Ices will produce a special ice cream party poll each week on the back of: sales of 5 varieties of ice cream specially produced for the election, votes cast on its website and votes cast in its facebook poll.

The five varieties on offer from the date the election is called until Election Day are:

• Conservative Party, Blue Stilton & Pineapple Kulfi ice cream
• Green Party, Almond and Pistachio Kulfi ice cream
• Labour Party, Red Rose & Berry fruit ice
• Liberal Democrat Party, Mango Kulfi ice cream
• Monster Raving Loony Party, Rhubarb and Fruitcake Kulfi ice cream

They have not forgotten the floating voters either, as they plan to have a plain vanilla flavour kulfi scooped into a glass of pop!

On hearing about the campaign, Lord David Steel said : "What a splendid idea!  My favourite is Mango kulfi, and that is not a political choice.  So I hope many customers share my taste"

Owner, Mike Tattersall intends to take his Battle Bike (The tricycle he uses to transport and sell his products from while selling at Farmers Markets around Leeds) and pitch up his offering to allow customers to decide if Politics is really just a matter of taste. Mike says "I have only one piece of advice for the troops of all parties - return to your constituency's and prepare for dessert".

You can vote to decide the winner of the ice cream party poll on the indie ice Facebook page, or on the website http://www.indie-ices.co.uk/.  

If you would like to taste the political flavour before you buy you can visit his battle bike at The Oakwood Farmer's Market on Saturday 17th April or  visit the website to see where else the battle bike will be parked for you to buy, try and vote.

Indie Ices also plan to give weekly news updates on progress of the campaign and be the first to declare their full results on the night of the election, Mike says" Being on our trike we are confident we will be 1^st past the post"
