All this will be common knowledge in political circles and they have no intention of raising the bar.<br /><br />Roger - I think one of the problems is not paying attention to what they do and don't do, what succeeds and what doesn't and whose fault it is.<br /><br />There are lots of trails to follow but too many don't bother.

Surely very very few people read a manifesto or research the political party - and little good would it do them anyway! There being no Advertising Standards Agency for political propadanda the poor voter has little or nothing to go on. Like going to a supermarket where none of the lables is reliable.<br /><br />I rather think Prof Jacobson would do well to test people's perceptions 'does this person look like a crook?'. Some politicos do look like crooks - but still survive, therein lies an interesting study.
