    Description of How to win an Election

    From choosing the new parish council to the race for Number 10, all elections have elements in common - planning and organisation, formulating the message and communicating it to the electorate, dealing with the opposition, identifying and avoiding potential banana skins.
    In How to Win an Election Paul Richards - author of Be Your Own Spin Doctor and Labour candidate in Billericay in 1997, achieving an 18 per cent swing from the Tories - distils years of campaigning experience to offer a lively view of the art of electioneering for all would-be campaigners and candidates, covering such areas as:
    preparation - drawing up the 'War Book', polling and research
    the message - soundbites, slogans and manifestos
    communication - canvassing, posters and mailshots
    election law and election funding
    speaking in public
    dealing with the media - spindoctoring, photo-opportunities and rapid rebuttal
    scandals and gaffes
    how to win with magnanimity and how to lose with style
    Packed with practical advice and essential information, How to Win an Election should be read by all with an interest in contemporary politics
