As long as the current two parties maintain their power in the political arena, there will never be a third party elected to a major office.

Defamation and slander are both correct, but slander is a better answer since it is more specific. Libel is incorrect because it is defamation by written or published statements. Breach of Duty is clearly wrong.

A false statement is a lie. If it is about someone an causes them to lose a job or money, it is libel. If it ruins theri reputation, it is slander. If you have a duty to tell the truth, it can be a breach of that duty, or perjury. To defame someone is also ruining their reutation, or causing them to lose fame.

Depends if it is done with Malice or not. The false statement has to have caused some loss in some way to the offended party
