As you move from area to area fighting for votes, you challenge other players' parties. Can you, for instance, counteract the socialists' appeal to workers in the North East? Can you reduce the independents' support among housewives in the Midlands? Is a combination of a slur campaign and brilliant TV broadcasting enough to shift white collar workers in the South and West to your Party? Your objective is to win enough votes to get a majority of the 635 seats in Parliament. And if you have to make a few hollow promises along the way, well that's politics.
