People are sick and tired of competent management of the economy, falling house prices, a quick turnaround on inflation, etc.
They just want to vote for whichever party fans their racist flames the hardest.
It is interesting where the different parties are putting their billboards. The "rich" neighborhoods tend to have more Nat/Act advertising and the TPM billboards are in the less well off areas, definite profiling going on somewhere in the political parties.
It seems a little silly to me, like you are advertising to those that are likely already captured. Wouldn't your advertising dollar be better spend trying to convince others to vote for you.
Maybe they think it's a fools errand to spend money trying to convince people who are not likely to be convinced.
I'm sure you are correct, but it just seems a bit backward
