elections&anti-incumbency

The poll predictions are full of surprises. From the election results it has become apparent that the prophecy of the psephologists is not sacrosanct. In many cases the reverse of the forecast was the result. The people seem to act against the forecasts. So to beat the incumbency factor, the ruling party should orchestrate a survey and poll forecast against it self! Any way to prove it false the public may vote it back to power. Does it sound dangerous!
Else it can reintroduce the age-old welfare measures with a novel nomenclature…old wine in a new bottle. The people are so considerate that they would never question why those acts were not done earlier. In the case of a severe anti-incumbency situation rename the party too and fight the elections…if possible have an alliance with the opposition itself and call it a friendly contest. If all these do not work out, be prepared to quit the present party and join the ruling one, which would always keep one in power. Unfortunately the boss does not possess this expediency.
