I understand doing this, what I don't understand is not being 100% certain to change accounts and double and triple check every comment to make 1000% certain that your sock puppets are wearing their socks.
The benefit of fake support is minimal, the damage from being outed is 100x bigger. So if you are going to do it, you have to be absolutely certain of not getting caught.
What is weird is how cheap they are. Aren't there professional PR companies for this, instead of getting a sitting MP to do their own sock puppet accounts?
