@poetgrant@fosstodon.org Well all that is based on current population support (in terms of percentage). Debates on TV and access to a ballot is in no way explicitly written to give any one party "free access", it is based objectively on measurable figures, usually polls.
@Saederup92 If people can be manipulated by the media then it is still the peoples fault.
