Understanding the UK Media

Understanding the UK Media



Nice analysis at MyDD today as part of the 8 Days Out UK roundup.

American Tactics watch: it seems push polling has arrived in the UK/

And this interesting analysis:

"If you want a Labour government, vote Liberal Democrat. If you want a Conservative government, vote Labour. If you want a Liberal Democrat government, vote Tory. Recite that every morning for a week."


The Guardian collects the best and worst posters of the campaign.

And insert your Chicago punchline here:

Prime Minister Tony Blair's Labour party has apologised for canvassing voters heading to the funeral of a family member.

Carol Hughes was in a black limousine with her daughter heading to her father's funeral when party canvassers approached to encourage them to vote for Labour.

The party said the canvassers had mistaken the potential voters for a wedding party. Their local candidate, member of parliament David Drew, had written to say sorry.
