“The digital world offers voters the opportunity to live in echo chambers where their political prejudices are confirmed and reinforced daily.”
Peter Geoghegan, Democracy for Sale: Dark Money and Dirty Politics

“The dark money playbook is straightforward. Take advantage of shady campaign financing; circumvent electoral rules where you can; and draw on a network of supportive think tanks, a receptive media run by a handful of magnates and hard-line caucuses within the long-established political parties.”
Peter Geoghegan, Democracy for Sale: Dark Money and Dirty Politics

“It didn’t seem to matter much that the campaign had in fact broken the law in 2016. Pumping hundreds of thousands of pounds more than the legal limit into millions of Facebook adverts targeted at undecided voters was treated as an historical footnote, if it was mentioned at all.”
