Decoy Candidates

This manipulation tactic is common when a competitor wishes to weaken his or her opponent by dividing his or her voter strong-base. This is a manipulative tactic because the voters will be blinded as to the true intentions of such a candidate. Voters inclined towards a particular political side, or certain political ideals will, therefore, be presented with a dilemma of two equally desirable options. By dividing the voters in such a manner, both candidates who are aligned either regionally, ethnically, racially, ideally, or in any other way, end up losing. This paves a direct way to the third manipulative candidate whose idea it was to split the voters in the first place.

In politics, this manipulation tactic takes advantage of a phenomenon called the spoiler effect. This is when apart from the two main candidates; there is an option for a third, usually the weakest with no chances of winning. The third candidate is likely to spoil the votes for one of the other two main candidates. More often than not, the likely victim among the remaining two candidates is usually the one whose political ideals align with those of the third candidate. This is because the similarity of their political ideals will likely lead to the candidate losing some of their voters to the third candidate.

Politicians are not above deliberately running such candidates with the aim of achieving the described results. This is the manipulation of voters at its highest form. This is because the voters will not in the least be suspicious of such an activity. They cannot begin to comprehend how someone can waste time, money and resources all for a lost cause. You can see how trying to convince them otherwise may prove to be difficult.
