Love it or hate it, British yeast extract spread brand Marmite, has launched a spoof election campaign featuring opposing ‘Love’ and ‘Hate’ parties.

If the Hate Party has its way, the States of Guernsey is to become “Marmiteland”, a designated Marmite eating zone!

Speaking to The Guernsey Press, a Marmite spokesperson is quoted as saying: ‘Guernsey is a beautiful island and the holiday destination of choice of Love Party leader Fay Freely, making it an obvious target for The Hate Party in their quest to stop the spread of Marmite.’

Marmite’s links with Guernsey don’t end there. Back in 2008, Guernsey born artist Jeremy Fattorini was commissioned to make a Marmite coated replica sculpture of Rodin’s ‘The Kiss’ for the brand’s ‘Love Marmite’ Valentines campaign.
