The Cambridge Analytica issue Phillip Frazer is spot on (he makes a bit of a habit of that) but I wonder if he has read of this:

‘International deception and meddling is the name of the game for SCL (CA’s parent company). We finally have the most concrete evidence yet of shadowy actors using dirty tricks in order to rig elections.
