🧵 The government published a significant policy paper today "Restoring trust in our democracy: Our strategy for modern and secure elections".
It includes some welcome proposals - including one that we've been campaigning for - but it doesn't go far enough.

🧵How much did unregulated election advertising distort the election results?
Let’s look at a few of the wafer-thin margins:
- Runcorn by-election - Reform beat Labour by 6 votes (0.02% share)
- Doncaster mayoral election - Labour held off Reform by just 698 votes (1% share)
🧵We've just published our review of the 2025 local council and mayoral elections.
They mark the first significant electoral test for the new government and an early opportunity for all political parties to show whether they have learned the lessons voters have been demanding.

Imagine if, when facing budget cuts, you had a way to forecast - with accuracy - the revenue you'd generate from different media plans.
That is possible. And if your organisation isn’t using it yet it could be a good time to get familiar with MMM scenario planning.
