    The Guardian abandons the Labour Party

    The Guardian are now saying that voting Liberal Democrat is the way to go.
    General election 2010: The liberal moment has come | Comment is free | The Guardian

    I don't actually know that the Guardian was always pro-Labour, I just always assumed that it was.

    But assuming it was, with Gordon Brown insulting his core voters and the liberal-minded middle-class urban professionals that Tony Blair did so much to win over being pointed at the LibDems, could this be the end of the Labour Party?

    No they are neck and neck with Liberals so not yet.

    However, when the Lib/LAb alliance assumes power that could be dangerous for both parties.
    The bickering and fighting in hung parliaments does not favour the alliance parties and this time there
    is the desperate financial situation as well.

    I'm almost tempted to have a punt against sterling...

      Did the Guardian really support Labour in the last election? I thought they went Lib Dem, after the Iraq war, but it could just be my bad memory

          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            Delusional doesn't cover it. These self-described progressives/liberals (I hate the hijacking of these words) are a bunch of loony tune air-headed retards.

            Comedy gold / scary if these are genuine thoughts.

            I see the Guardian's readership has fallen to 300,000. Losing its relevance. Maybe relocation to an Athens suburb would be a smart business move.

                  Each one of these Guardian readers I know of are self-hating liberals who have the audacity to accuse other newspapers of being biased, and accuse other newspapers readers of being brainwashed... in particular they hate Daily Mail readers. These liberal retards don't seem to undestand the irony in how they behave, then again it is not the liberal way to look THEMSELVES in the mirror, hence why they also hate Christianity. Also these Guardian readers consider themselves intellectually superior, more clever, than the rest of the population. I had one of these air-heads trying to defend Nick Clegg's ludicrous amnesty for illegals policy this week, says it all really.

                    As opposed to you, who simply hates everyone. Very fair of you. And to be fair, most Guardian readers are your intellectual superior. Anyway, all right thinking people (i.e. people who think like I do) hate the daily mail as well.
