Guest absolutezero Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 You think this is insignificant? Given it never really supported Labour anyway I'd not say it was significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest absolutezero Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_(newspaper)The Sun goes Labour again The Sun switched support to Labour on 18 March, 1997, six weeks before the landslide General Election victory which saw Labour leader Tony Blair become Prime Minister, despite attacking Blair and New Labour up to a month earlier. Its front page headline read THE SUN BACKS BLAIR and its front page editorial made clear that while it still had reservations about some of New Labour policies, such as the Minimum Wage and Devolution, it believed Blair to be "the breath of fresh air this great country needs."[26] John Major's Conservatives, it said, were "tired, divided and rudderless".[26] Blair, realising the influence the paper could have over its readers' political thinking, had "courted" it for some time by granting exclusive interviews and writing columns. In exchange for Rupert Murdoch's support, Blair agreed not to join the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.[27] The paper has supported Labour in both the subsequent two elections, in 2001 and 2005, despite being a persistent critic of some of its policies, particularly on closer ties with Europe. It was argued that the 'Sun' backed New Labour at the 1997 General Election because it knew that the Conservatives had no chance of winning, and it had urged its readers to vote Conservative, afterwards it would have been seen as having backed a loser. Your second paragraph says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyOne Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/...government.html After 12 long years in power, this Government has lost its way. Now it's lost The Sun's support too. Short and to the point ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest absolutezero Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Tactical switching... No switching at all. They're just saying they're Tories now rather than claiming to support Labour but preaching the Tory message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Good god, just seen the front page. Talk about putting the boot in! Esp the Dossier of their failures (hmmm, might hang that on my office wall!) Jeepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manterik Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Its just people in power backing the winning horse.They would support the BNP if they thought they would win. In a nutshell, Murdoch and co back winners. They are cynical opportunists. It is important as it underlines Labours fall but it is not an endorsement of anyone else.

bogbrush Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 No switching at all.They're just saying they're Tories now rather than claiming to support Labour but preaching the Tory message. ah but the plebs read it and it matters, whatever the motivations behind the scenes. To be fair, after that absurd speech Brown deserves nothing less than oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markinspain Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thanks for the links. It's nice to see it in 'print'. Have we had this 6th of May 2010 election date confirmed yet? A nice few months for Murdoch to send Gordo over the edge (with any luck). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairies Wear Boots Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Brown and the Labour party are doomed but I doubt whether the Sun will be deciding matters.Its circulation peaked at 4,889,118 in 1995 but by 2008 it had reduced to an average of 2,986,000 copies a day. The days when it alone turned elections on its own is probably in the past. Yeah, but when opinion polls are at 40 percent for the oppostion and 26 percent for you, and then The Sun turns on you...

Guillotine Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Given it never really supported Labour anyway I'd not say it was significant. So by announcing they are no longer supporting Labour this indicates to you that The Sun no longer surreptitiously fail to support the party who they explicitly backed, day after day after day, for 12years, in print? What a crazy mixed up world we live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
