Liberals claimed that by 1996, they had implemented 78% of their: leader"s tour consists of each party leader crisscrossing the country many times over the campaign period, similar to a royal tour, party officials go ahead of the leader to make sure that every detail is in place, the leader is then accompanied by a horde of strategists and support staff as well as by reporters who pay to travel abroad the party charted plan or bus, this is done to attract media coverage. Media coverage: since there are 5 parties now, harder to get media coverage every night on national news, before 1997, tv and newspapers gave equal time or space to the various party leaders, but in 1997 and 2000, different parties received unequal treatment in both tv and news paper coverage, large corporations control the ownership of most the mass media.
