How Political Campaigning Works

How do political parties campaign, and why does this differ from other kinds of campaigning? How do they decide what issues to campaign on, or what their policies are? What happens to the information political activists gather by door-knocking and phoning voters? What are the rules about political campaigning? What exactly is spin, how does it work, and will it always be with us? How are the parties using social media, and might this eventually replace more traditional campaign methods?

This 2-hour workshop answers these and many other questions, and offers participants the chance to develop a much better understanding of how political campaigning works.
