The Fix #107: The problem with election campaign copy and why most of it is destined for the bin
Stand back.
Things might be about to get a little scary.
How come?
We’re talking politics.
Noooooo.
Starmer… Sunak… even Farage haunts this often expletive-filled episode.
But the truth is, we’re not really talking about the politics here… we’re talking about the copy. Specifically, the copy used in election campaigning to try to get you to take action and vote for one party or another.
Mostly, it’s crap — and we explain why.
And we even explain what copywriters can learn from controversial old Nigel.
So, grab a bag of politically balanced potato chips and enjoy the show…
Best,
Glenn
