How do voters choose between two unappealing candidates?

...sounding bossy or having a spray-tanning habit. People voting by rejection will be more deliberate – and will look carefully at what makes a candidate bad. Emotional claims will not work.

No Pause for Thought? Brexit, Bias and Political Manipulation

...work). And Britain hasn’t even left yet.
