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 @peter_by_the_sea I want one that says "life is a trickster"
@MidnightRider @peter_by_the_sea Hah! 😂
@Florence @peter_by_the_sea It will never be right. Government for and by the people is a pillow sham, a myth.
