The national English newspapers are backing the following parties (with most of the Tory-supporting ones spreading lies as usual. So much for a fair and democratic election process):
Financial Times, Telegraph, Times , Express, Mail, Star, Sun all back Tory. Even The Independent (!) backs the Tory-Lib Dem coalition to continue. The Guardian back Labour (having backed Lib Dem in 2010). And as we all know, the Telegraph and Mail set the agenda for the BBC and ITV news coverage, so it is a miracle we have ever had anything but a Tory government...

So...
Yes, it is all fully costed.
...and for the UK to be considered democratic we need Proportional Representation rather than the unfair and antiquated first past the post system.
Good luck Chrissy.. Did you hear our Greens pulled a fast one on the press and both libs and labour by changing leadership quietly, when it was announced yesterday the press were outraged that they'd been in the dark.. Go Greens!
ReplyDeleteYes I heard about that Grace, rather amusing ;-)
DeleteWe had a provincial election out in Alberta the other day, Chrissy. After forty years of Tory rule, the voters kicked them out and went for a leftwing party.
