Even now, certain agents are plotting to influence the result of the next election campaign by means of stealth and deception. These agents are better known as the political parties. Indeed, a good short definition of an election campaign would be “a sustained, intense, all-party burst of falsehood, slander and misrepresentation.”There isn’t a lot else. The rest is devoted to deliberately misrepresenting the other parties’ positions, while making false or exaggerated claims about their own. All of this is only to describe the conventional political campaign, the one carried out openly, in full view of the public.
