Electoral politics is a blood sport and some of the toughest
fighters in the game are the campaign strategists who hone and
sell their candidates' message.

Lynton Crosby is widely regarded as a master in the dark arts of
political campaigning. He ran winning election campaigns in his
native Australia for former prime minister John Howard. In the
UK, he twice helped Boris Johnson win the London Mayor's office.

Opponents on the left have accused him of using grubby, divisive
methods to further a conservative agenda. Is bare-knuckle
politics good for democracy?
