Are you aware of the tricks that political messaging uses to manipulate your emotions? Or your attention? Or to simply dodge the hard questions?

Here, Osher breaks down the most commonly seen examples - with the hope that being able to recognise them will keep you more calm in the lead up to the coming election, and steer you to better discussions, better information and a vote you feel better about.

Plus, once you know them, you'll see that these mental and logical manipulations don’t solely appear in political campaigning either... 

STORY CLUB IS NEARLY HERE - MARCH 9. Details and tickets here.
