It's not the Sun that will win for Labour it is proportional representation

Much has and still is being written about the Sun's about turn on its support for the Labour party.

Some may argue that this is what happens if you play with fire which was exactly what Tony Blair had done with the Murdoch empire since the birth of new Labour.

There is a very good article over at the New Statesman's site by James Macintyre who writes that

If ever there was proof that New Labour's careful courting of Rupert Murdoch would ultimately work against the party's interests, it came on the night of Gordon Brown's conference speech in Brighton when news broke of the Sun's endorsement of the Conservatives.

James though firmly beleives that the Sun's influence on the electorate is something of a myth but revels in the deep irony that Gordon Brown's u turn on electoral reform

is precisely this supposed influence that a proportional voting system would smash by handing power to the electorate as a whole, rather than a few Conservative-inclined seats in "Middle England".
