PKP engaged in 'tobacco politics'

PALU, Central Sulawesi: The Justice and Unity Party (PKP)
shuns the much-condemned money politics and plays "tobacco
politics" instead.

Party activists started their indoor campaign in town by
handing out cigarettes to party supporters. Antara reported the
activists pledged it was not money politics by another name.

"We mean to keep the supporters awake while they listen to the
speeches," an activist said in the campaign in an air-conditioned
building. "Handing out cigarettes is not in our party program."

Other parties fielding boring campaigns may follow suit.
