There are several synonyms for "party political broadcast" such as political ad, campaign ad, election ad, political commercial, and political propaganda. These terms are essentially used interchangeably to describe political messages that are broadcasted on television or radio during an election campaign period. These messages are usually aimed at persuading voters to support a particular political party or candidate. They may include speeches, policy statements, or attacks on opponents' policies and positions. While party political broadcasts are intended to influence the voting public, they can also often be viewed as divisive and manipulative, as they tend to promote one party's agenda over another's.
