Gutter press UK tabloid The Sun has switched its allegiance to the Conservatives away from Labour, it announced today on its front page.
Many journalists have described this as a 'nail in Labours coffin', where as the prime minister Gordon Brown has said 'the people decide elections, not newspapers.'

The sun has over 10million readers and is Britain’s biggest selling rag (largely because its cheap and shows big titted models).

Many people though, see this as a cheap selling trick. It is clear to everyone that Labour has lost majority of its support, with most people turning to UKiP and BNP, but majority towards the Conservatives. The Sun, has always been a right wing paper, along side its rival The Daily Mail (Sun stereotypically being for 'Labour' voters, and Daily Mail being for 'Tory voters) but you have to wonder that if it was BNP gaining majority of the votes, would they say Nick Griffin is god? Or if UKiP were gaining majority, would they say Nick Farrage is god?

The Sun has always been considered as 'gutter press' by the large majority, but it does have many supporters however... Gordon Brown may think 'people decide the decide the elections, not the newspapers...' But he has failed to take into account that PEOPLE write newspapers... and PEOPLE read newspapers... Labour was already dead, the coffin was already sealed...
Lets just hope it steals some BNP votes to the slightly less 'twat-ish' Tories...

It is also worth noting, whoever Sun readers vote for, the government still gets in...
FUCK THE SUN!

Of course it's a trick, The Sun don't give a shit about politics, they just want to shift papers, nobody is interested in reading a Labour rag.

The Sun is the same in my country, and their allegiances are similar.

The people don't write newspapers, the bourgeoisie does.

Labour don't deserve supporting in the next election, even The Respect Paper is headlining with "Break links with loser Brown". Labour should never have even courted the Sun for support in 1997. So its somewhat hypocritical for Brown to now declare that newspapers don't decide elections.

That The Sun agree with critics of Labour, but back the Tories, should come as no surprise, as a populist right-wing paper with a centre right proprietor. The point now is for progressives to expose The Sun and its consistent pro-market agenda. At the same time to increase the lefts own marketshare of the media.

I always thought the Daily Mirror was the Labour leaning paper?
