Are political campaigns as vicious in other countries as they are in the USA?

Asked by cdwccrn (3610points) November 16th, 2008 from iPhone

we all remember the attack ads, the nasty comments made at rallies, the propoganda. Is politics the same big fight in other countries?

Yeah, they generally have to be more civilized. They don’t have the same free speech laws.

Slander and libel, ftw!

Not quite as intense, but they still slander each other and blame each other for all of the country’s problems.
