		First, the General Election campaign as the creation of organised political parties is made to exist by them in ways dictated by the presence of the mass media in general and television in particular.
		Thus, in general news coverage everything possible is done to reduce ambiguity in presentation and the possibilities of misunderstanding, for example, by the presentation of as much information as possible in both verbal and visual form, with speakers and film material all clearly labelled.
		For on Election Night the personalities identified with the news and current affairs organisations of the BBC and the ITV are stars of a programme which is unquestionably and transparently reliable as to the information it is transmitting.

	OFF THE TELLY: Factual/Election Television/Good Morning Prime Minister
		During the 1951 election, however, average audiences for radio broadcasts fell, and not just because, as political academic David Butler wrote at the time, "far more people are away from their firesides in a clement October than in a less temperate February".
		However in 1950, 1951 and 1955, there were election night programmes on the BBC - then the only British television channel - but these were dull, stuffy affairs, and would not have been watched by the majority of the electorate.
		Maybe a closer election, with a smaller majority held by the party in government, would help, but the general cynicism of the public seems to have got through to the broadcasters this year.
