I would argue that banning campaigning completely eradicates any opportunity a candidate has to let the people know what his or her platform is... I would suggest that stump speeches, debates, town hall style meetings (ones that *anyone* can attend rather than the staged events we now see), etc. are the types of events that should continue.
Anything else should be done away with as they seem to be rife with corruption and obfuscation.
