It's readership is something like 80% Labour and 10% Liberal Democrat. And the editorial page is almost exclusively left-wing, Liberal Democrat or Labour. I doubt they are part of a Tory plot.

Cameron has been attempting to move the Tory's to the center and has been slowly moving up in the polls. The Tories have been 3 to 7 points up for about 9 months over Labour. With all the scandels about selling Lordships by Blair, the huge money schemes of Labour, the Billions of pounds poured into the NHS over the last 6 years(without improving service, delivery or reducing wait times, and closeing more and more hospitals because they are going bankrupt), a reduction on prisions monies at the same time that the number of prisinors has risen dramatically, along with the huge numbers(for the UK) of illegal immigrants in custudy, quite a few of which have escaped or been put on house arrest then completely lost(many committing serious crimes such as assult to kill, rape, and murder) and the Labour goverment has no idea where or even who these people are. Add to that Chancellor Browns tax grabs, taking 5 to 7 billion pounds a year from private pension funds, that have left 56% of those in the private sector suddenly without a reliable or adaquate pension upon retirement, but not touching the pensions of those employed by goverment. Making inheiritance taxes retroactive and many more such schemes, it's no wonder that people are just fed up. The cost of housing has gotten so high that no one with a normal job can afford to buy even a starter house, plus the huge raise in council taxes, especially in Labour and Lib Democrat controlled councils. New laws against just about everything, Social services taking away children left and right and having them placed for adoption before the real parents can even get a court date to fight it. You can only be arrogant for so long before the masses just say a pox on your house. Gorden Brown is an unlikable elietist, old line Labour Minister and if that isn't enough, he's Scottish, not English, just when Scotland is clamoring for independence and any law passed in Parliment can be voted on by Scottish MP's, even though it won't affect Scotland because of devolution, but it can have a huge impact in England or Wales. This is fast becoming a sticking point with English voters. The most interesting thing I think is the fact that if Scotland, because of devolution, weren't allowed to vote in national Uk elections, the Tories would have been back in power 2 elections ago. The Tories have not 1 MP in Parliment from Scotland. If Scotland were removed from the equation, the Tories would sweep Parliment. Thats my answer to your **isn't it a coincedence** statement. After 10 years of Tony Blair and Labours complete and total bungling, the UK electorate has reached it's limit I would say. This isn’t surprising.

David Cameron? Conservatives? Tories? Sir Menzies Campbell? Oxford? Bullingdon? Etonian? toff? £? England? These terms are unfamiliar to me. French, perhaps? Gordon Brown? David Cameron?

These terms are unfamiliar to me. French, perhaps?
