How do politicians from other parts of the world run their election campaigns?

Other than those who resort to bribery to secure elections I know of no other country where vast fortunes are spent on a process that also appears to take years to run its dreary course. America is unique. I much prefer the restrained way it's done here in the UK and the rest of Europe. Much cheaper too!
