Isabel Hardman of The Spectator looks behind the scenes at Westminster.
Is the controversy over the party leaders' televised debates descending into farce? Do we know enough about the "dark arts" of election campaigning, and why do parties send "moles" to their opponents' meetings?

The editor is Marie Jessel.
