In the UK, no political party is allowed to advertise on television. It is prohibited. Not even during an election cycle.

Instead, each party gets a Party Political Broadcast (PPB) which is 5 mins long, usually shown just before the evening news (allowing everyone to turn off!) Each party gets a specific number of PPBs.

America could really learn from this.

@Florence There are campaign spending limits in each constituencey too, based on the population. UK politics are far from perfect, but I'm staggered at the amount of money required to run a campaign in the US.
