After 12 years of support, the Sun drops support for Labour
In 1997 Britain had lost its way. Government had become stale and was bereft of fresh ideas. The country was ready to take a chance on somebody different and that somebody was Tony Blair MP.
It was the freshness, the vigour, the enthusiasm that he exuded which led to the hope and faith in him by the British electorate.
It has often been claimed that It was the SUN what won it! back in 1997.
But 12 long years on and that vigour, enthusiasm and freshness has deserted the Labour Party leaving them an empty shell of their once reformed self.
Well, with the advent of today’s headline and the accompanying endorsement of David Cameron’s Conservative Party a full 8 months before the General Election one can only conclude that The SUN is once again on the RIGHT side.
One can’t help feeling though that with that headline they had a sneak preview of our campaign 24hrs prior to launch.
and i thought that newspapers were meant to be impartial, independent and all that. maybe not tabloids? think of all the labour party members that will cancel their sun subscriptions now.
on the other hand, it took a long time and a lot of scandals for the sun to make that decision! i wonder will the voters have such long patience and short memories at the elections next year.
ps:i like the new website. labourlost indeed!
