What we have in the US is a good thing gone bad. We have the freedom
of any candidate to reach the voters with any message*. The free
speech thing, you know. The candidates abuse this good thing. I
don't feel it is more sensible to prohibit the practice because it is
abused.

*With some constraints. The candidate must have the money to buy the
time or be subject to the equal exposure rules. There are some
restraints on what the message can contain.

Sure, and that practicallity
has corrupted the entire political system in th US,
by making political parties too dependent
on the gifts of the rich,
