Comments (148) Add to My Stories When 24-year-old Jacob Quaglozzi won a contest to design a Labour election poster, he doubtless thought it was the first rung on the political ladder.
But yesterday his ambitions appeared to have been nipped in the bud after his idea backfired spectacularly.
An attempt to poke fun at David Cameron by portraying him as the politically incorrect Eighties TV detective Gene Hunt resulted in an own goal with the Tories turning it into a vote-winner for their leader.
It seemed like a good idea at the time: Jacob Quagliozzi, left, pictured beside the poster that won him the competition and, to the right of him, Ed and David Miliband
On the poster, Mr Cameron`s face is superimposed on to the body of Hunt, leaning on the bonnet of his Audi Quattro wearing snakeskin boots.
It claims Mr Cameron wants to return Britain to the Thatcher era, with the slogan `Don`t let him take Britain back to the 1980s.`
Within hours the Tories unveiled their own version, adapting Hunt`s catchphrase to say: `Fire up the Quattro. It`s time for change.`
A cheeky footnote added: (Idea kindly donated by the Labour Party).
Mr Quaglozzi, from St Albans, Hertfordshire, won a trip to the Saatchi and Saatchi advertising agency`s office as part of his prize for winning the poster contest open to Labour supporters nationally.

PETER McKAY: Spare us all the politics of stupidity
He studied politics at Leeds University before becoming assistant manager of a fashion shop.
He was unavailable for comment yesterday but on a YouTube internet film clip he says: `Even though, you know, I was born half way through the Tories being in power, the effects of what they didn`t do during the recession in the 80s were still really felt in my community.`
On his Facebook page he writes: `Jacob Quagliozzi has drunk too much wine, smoked too many fags, is listening to the Beatles ... and can`t believe people really want David Cameron as PM. He`s a c**k.`
He also insults Tory-supporting Carol Vorderman, saying: `Carol Vorderman: ignorant, aloof and without any substance. No wonder she`s a Tory.`
His brother Roberto, 36, said Jacob had been a member of the Labour Party for as long he could remember and spent a lot of time canvassing during the last election.
`He`s very outgoing and likes to talk to people. He`s very into fashion and wacky hairstyles.
`I had no idea he was doing this poster. I hadn`t even seen it before. I think it`s quite funny.
`I don`t really get it because I`m not a big film fan but obviously it`s great that he`s done this and beat so many people to have his poster made.`
Mr Cameron said he was ` flattered` to be compared to DCI Hunt, played by actor Philip Glenister.
He said: `I think there will be thousands of people, millions of people, in the country who wish it was the 1980s and that police were out there feeling collars and nicking people instead of filling in forms.`
A Tory source said: `This is exactly the sort of rebranding exercise for Dave that we would like to achieve - making him cooler, less "posh" - but could not have initiated. Labour has done it for us.`
DCI Hunt has become a cult TV character since first appearing as a policeman in the time-travel series Life on Mars in 2006.
At the time reviewers described him as `an icon of political incorrectness, an object of transgressive female lust and a legend`.
It was followed by two series of Ashes To Ashes set in the Eighties.
Arriving home in Richmond, Surrey yesterday in a more up-to-date Audi Quattro, Philip Glenister declined to comment on the poster campaign.
