General Election portraits turn party leaders into provocative posters

As part of its coverage of the 2017 election, the i newspaper has teamed up with Atomic London to create a series of posters that turns these party policies into provocative posters. We've already seen how graphic designers have used their creativity to urge young people to rise up and vote, but perhaps these posters will help floating voters to decide who to support.
