Political advertising in the UK has been a largely regulated space. That is up until about a decade ago.
Our screens are now awash with political adverts, character attacks and sometimes factually inaccurate messaging. Created and paid for by our government and the opposition parties.
What can we expect to see in the lead up to a general election? And will this have any effect on voters? Or is it all just Westminster name calling?
Rachel Cunliffe is joined by New Statesman columnist Jonn Elledge, author of A History of the World in 47 Borders, to discuss political advertising throughout modern history.
