Article Abstract:
UK newspapers have been predicting an extremely dirty election battle in 1997, but it is not likely to match the meanness of some past contests. US- style paid negative TV ads are not allowed. The Labour Party is so far ahead that dirty tactics will only hurt. John Major may rather lose with dignity.

Article Abstract:
Pollsters continue to predict a win for Labour in upcoming elections, but they are not predicting a landslide. In fact, the results will probably be something of a landslide for Tony Blair. An Economist poll shows Labour winning 55% of the vote.
