Unlike the British, we drag out the national elections until everyone (mostly) is simply worn out. The result seems to be that we become susceptible to professional messaging. Advertising works, otherwise they wouldn't spend money on it.

Proceed at your own risk, many "facts" don't align with the messaged being broadcast - on both sides
