  An electioneering game. A snap election has been called and you are a candidate. To get elected you need to win the votes of half the electorate. This means canvassing 6 groups of voters on 6 separate policies. It also means outsmarting your opponents, who may be out to win at any cost. This is politics remember, the playground of sleaze and the graveyard of principles. We are about to find out what kind of politician you really are.

If you choose to fight a clean campaign don't expect the electorate to notice. And don't look around for any favours from your opponents, who will be hoping to steal votes from your target groups and target policies. Try to assemble a good manifesto to ensure you win votes from live TV debates and keep an eye out for the chance to impress the floating voters with your charm offensives. But if you get too far ahead, your opponents might try to thwart you with a political time bomb under your campaign.
Meanwhile you'll need to negotiate the political hotspots, steer clear of the political quagmire and avoid stepping on the banana skins which litter your path to Parliament. If you are tainted with sleaze, watch out as the political minefield stands between you and the media circus. If you are still determined to play sleazy, don't let your challengers seize the moral high ground or they'll launch a moral crusade to get you deselected.
