It's meant to be a ballot box, but they are usually black metal

I think someone bought it and claimed for it on expenses

Collecting our votes, then. It would be nice if we could vote at our computers.

it's the 200th anniversary of the death of Albrecht Christian Cardboard, the inventor of the cardboard box.

The flag looks faded. Has it been there for a while?

Oh yes I never noticed it, it looks like a collection box, but at least Ed has tried. The Maypole (or the non maypole) would have been difficult to show on there so don't knock the ballot box.
