How to buy a voter
..
Published:Friday | November 20, 2015
When politicians sit down to strategise how to win enough votes to get elected, they must have some idea of what voters want. They then set out to convince us that they can deliver.
But what do the voters actually want? And what do politicians believe voters want?
We can deduce what politicians think voters want by observing the strategies they actually employ. If they believe that the majority want a master plan for sustainable development in Jamaica, they would pull all their best brains together, pull on outside resources, and put together a compelling manifesto, indicating what they will do if elected. Doing this shows respect for the thinking voters.
