Time to upgrade.

While everyone was watching NYC, the real campaign masterclass happened in Moldova

The Party of Action and Solidarity faced Russian-backed disinformation, vote-buying networks flooding Telegram with 62,000 bot comments, and opponents with unlimited resources

Here's how they won

If your ground operation is still reaching the same grannies who were voting for you anyway, or you're not fighting back with aggressive short-form content and real-time intelligence, you've already conceded the battlefield.

My slightly fuller analysis:

First Political Technology Conference in Europe!

Lots of progress still needed in European political technology, hopefully this is the start of real investment from parties, campaigns and investors. #politicaltech #politicaltecheu

[Alex Gunter @AlexGunterInPol]

Despite deep polarisation in the UK, parties in June and July managed to build extremely diverse voting coalitions.

Does this mean the era of defining polarisation is over? Or have parties just learnt how to harness it?

What do the Edina Comms team members love to do most when on holiday? Why attend summits on Generative AI in politics!

[Lea Rattei @learattei]

Excellent summit organised by @Zinc_Collective, @highergroundlab and @CoopImpact on the use of Generative AI in politics and issue-based advocacy. It was particularly interesting to hear from a range of startups and campaigns about how they are innovating in the space!

@JackCroft04 I loved your recent article, I agree with it a lot. Can you shoot me a DM, I'd love to run an idea past you

"This staggering amount makes deer one of the most damaging species to the British countryside and, because deer have no natural predator in the UK, this number would only increase if left unchecked."

A genuinely safe seat...and North Shropshire #ThePartyIsOver

[Alex Gunter @AlexGunterInPol]

Shastri-Hurst is from Birmingham, the city. Does he have the ability to represent rural #Shropshire? Especially in these difficult times.

@eaPolitics Politics works on personality whether that is a good thing or not, promoting the people rather than institutions might also help people relate more. #eaPolitics

[Alex Gunter @AlexGunterInPol]

@eaPolitics Most people don't even understand how things work nationally. People don't need to fully understand the EU's complexity. You only need to know that it has to be approved by the parliament and member states. That's much easier than knowing institutions. #eaPolitics @youngeuromove

Coming together, across the political divide to nurture innovation is the only way we will address the #ClimateCrisis

Thanks @alex_haida for a great little comment on this. Its no time for ideology, it is time for action. #Glasgow

[Alex Gunter @AlexGunterInPol]

Had the please of attending the Youth Environment Summit in Edinburgh hosted by the @BCA_eco

Lets talk about solutions, lets implement solutions and lets end this crisis now!

Massive thanks to all involved for their unbreakable focus on the issue at hand.

[The Jo Cox Foundation @JoCoxFoundation]

The Jo Cox Foundation is horrified to hear the news of the attack on Sir David Amess MP. We are thinking of him, his family and loved ones at this distressing time.

British rail should of just gone with simply changing it to one shade of Green for the campaign and gone back to red after. Here’s 5 minutes work #BritishRail

[Alex Gunter @AlexGunterInPol]

@tompeck hits the nail on the head. We have been hearing the same vague reasons why #Brexit is bad for 6 years.

It is refreshing to see an organisation be bold and actually say something that people care about.

@GBNEWS would you ever consider also hosting a show with a slight European angle? Might help your engagement figures
