Who should the Guardian support…?

By Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982

The Guardian is asking its readers who it should support in its forthcoming editorial line. I suspect, eventually, it will hedge its bets as it has done often in the past by endorsing both Labour and the Liberal Democrats, as the chart below shows:

And although the paper has given too much space to David Cameron to op-ed his way through various electioneering articles, it’s very unlikely that the Guardian would endorse the Tories.

Beacuse you can only make the case for Labour by 1pm this afternoon, I don’t have lone to write why I think it should endorse the party, but here are some links to articles written by you over the past year as to why we need another Labour government, and a video of how far we’ve come.

We know what change is: Looking foward and looking back, only Labour has the answers.

Causes to fight for: Devolution — Why only Labour has shown a commitment to real localism.

Labour sees climate change as not just an environmental issue, but one of social and economic justice at home and abroad.

The future of public services is a mutual future — Why only Labour can deliver real mutual solutions.

Why the Lib Dems are not progressive or fair in Islington.

Although the economy is still growing only slowly, Labour’s action has been vindicated by the OECD, amongst others.

And because for a paper like the Guardian, and for Britain’s role in the world, international opinions matter.
