The political game with numbers

The political game with numbers

The popularity of Vladimir Putin has been decreased, and maybe the dropping from the 80 to 64 percent would be caused that Putin has hard to explain the demonstrations all around Russia, and it seems better in public media if the number of supporters of the official president is 64 than some 80 percent of the people. This is the thing, what we must understand in the popularity records of the people. The thing is that the lower numbers of the supporters would be lower than 60% is more trustable than some support ratio, what will be near 100%. The trusting and giving the information, what seems trustable and real are the key element in the information operations, and the thing is that 51% of given votes is enough to keep the man in the rule of the nation.

If I will make faked information of the politician or some other person, I would use lower numbers than some 99%. The thing is that if the winner would win by numbers 52-48% that would seem very good in the public network. And the thing is that the person, who has got the support would win the game. That kind of result would give an image of the fair campaign, and the things like 80% support would seem that the race has been fair and the thing is that the "better man wins". In this case, the number of abandoned votes would not be very big.

And in fact, I sometimes think how many politicians have bought their election to parliament by the way, what uses minimum numbers for victory. In the modern days, the attempt to buy the "miscalculation" is quite difficult, because of the Internet, but before global information network would be a possibility to manipulate the numbers of the supporting votes. But there is no evidence that this kind of things has done in western election campaigns.
