The Daily Mail is clearly the BNP. I'd say The Spectator is Conservative.

the daily mail's site is terrible. just a place for trolls and corrupt mods. the mods are so slippery, one day they ban all pro ukip comments, then they ban all anti ukip comments.

The independent will back the winner. Does seem Farage friendly though.

The FT will back the Tories this election.

The Daily Mail supports the Ukip agenda but backs the Tories.

The telegraph is solid Tory, not sure why you think its Ukip. Its far too sane and factual to back them.

The Times will back the Tories this election.

Guardian could go either Green or Labour.

they deleted my comments on poor people lol. i made the comment that poor people tend to be poor because of the decisions they've made and rich people take a lot more risks than poor people and they deserve their rewards for it. they deleted my comments and now put me on a watch list so my future comments have to be approved before being posted. bunch of tree hugging bastards

Not a huge Guardian reader but it reads as more opinionated and critical - so very biased.

The Daily Mail just doesn't give a damn - from racially-charged stories to rampant spelling errors. They know we love to hate them. It keeps them popular so they stick with it. Kudos for all its celeb news.
As of 2010:

The Guardian and Observer went Lib Dem.
The Mirror and Morning Star went Labour.
The Independent and The Daily Star didn't declare.
Everyone else went Conservative.


Wouldn't expect big deviations from that
Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaa???

Guardian: Lib Dems
Telegraph: Conservatives (it's known as the Torygraph fro a reason...)
Daily Mail: UKIP.
Mirror: Labour.
Express: UKIP.
Independent: Lib Dem/Greens
you're wrong on the independent. just go on their site, there is nothing pro lib dem/green on there.
Independent and the guardian will reluctantly back labour (and the greens where they can win)



Everyone else will back tory although the express may back ukip.
Guardian - Labour
Telegraph - Conservative
Daily mail (corrupt) - Conservative
Mirror - Labour
Express - Conservative
Independent - Conservative
Probably not dissimilar to 2010:

What you can be absolutely certain of is [sunday] Torygraph being Conservative (there's a reason people call it the Torygraph) and [sunday] mirror being Labour, with the majority being Conservative

Main changes I'd expect from 2010:

Guardian will almost certainly not back Lib Dems this time. It will either be Green, reluctant Labour or not back anyone.

Express will back UKIP.

Small chance that the Mail will back UKIP, but more likely they'll go Tory again.

Everyone else will stay the same. Though oddly enough I think the Economist might back the Lib Dems.

In 2015, I suspect the papers will support the following parties:


Guardian: Green or reluctant Labour
Telegraph: Conservative
The Times: Conservative
Daily Mail: Conservative
Mirror: Labour
Express: UKIP
Independent: Green or reluctant Labour
The Economist: Conservative
The Spectator: Conservative
The Financial Times: Conservative (Given the FT's pro-EU stance, perhaps reluctantly).
The New Statesman: Labour
The Sun: Conservative

EDIT: I suspect the Guardian will support Labour on the basis that the Conservatives, they will argue, are pure evil!!!

Interested to see who the Independent backs.

All the others seem quite predictable.
