There were no television or radio adverts for UKIP, or any other politcal party contesting the elections, because widespread political advertising on television and radio is banned in Britain.
Instead, political parties get what are known as "Party Politcal Broadcasts". These are 5 minute slots on the main networks in Britain, and a party gets allocated a number of these depending on how many candidates parties field.
Labour, Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats got 3 or 4 for this election (because the Euro elections were combined with the local government elections). UKIP got at least 1 slot, but I think they got a 2nd, I can't remember.
Thanks!
Fascinating...thanks for the ping.
I concur. All of Dick Morris's columns I have read for the past three or four years have had just one purpose: To get himself a job back in the thick of things, wheeling and dealing from the White House.
That's why he oscillates the way he does between offering free advice to Bush and free advice to hillary (who fired him). He doesn't really care which one he works for, but he wants to be back in the center of power.
Never happen. Hillary hates him. Bush would never trust him.
Bump!
