PR discussions: Re: [prpoint] PR for political parties-are we capable

Dear Members,

PR & Political Parties? Sounds like 'Round peg in a square hole'. Not matching.

PR is motivating by presentation of facts and Politics is social relations involving intrigue to gain authority or power by hook or crook.

Political Parties go well with 'Propaganda' hence the name Political Propaganda to rhyme with religious propaganda and war propaganda where the importance for facts is minimal.

Perhaps, 'Lobbying' is appropriate for political parties and not PR.

In my view, any attempt to dovetail PR with Politics/Political Parties is only to corrupt PR

Hi there,

A veryvalid question. Even inMumbai, in certain pockets which consist of 'jhuggi-jhopadpatti s' the large numberof voters can sway/tilt the result - just with booze/money power and may be in some cases muscle power. Are PR agencies capable of reacing such people enmass.

A well knownpolitical party leader, who controls such huge voters,illigally residing around the air-port, in unautorised huts, wins every year promising them 'free homes' to those residing since certain year. Evey 5 years this cut - off point goes up.

Friends

I wish to raise a question, we are all engaged in corporate PR. Political involves more of reaching out to mass directly and needs understanding of people mind set, understanding of locals, messaging will be different in different areas etc etc.

Are corporate PR agencies are we capable to take up such activities..

best regards
Narren
