The oldest kid in town
Article Abstract:
Voters in the UK are just beginning to be ready to listen to the Conservative party again, according to party leader William Hague. He believes that the party's fortunes will undergo a revival, and emphasizes that he has strong support from the parliamentary party. He rejects the view that his career has been an easy progression, indicating that he has actually had to fight extremely hard. He feels that politicians should be judged solely by their achievements, and for this reason does not believe that it is significant that he is seen as lacking charisma.

How to woo the Tory press
Article Abstract:
The UK Labour party has made considerable efforts to gain the support of some elements of the Conservative press. It has appealed directly to influential journalists at the Sun and the Daily Mail, and has even been successful in gaining limited backing from the Daily Telegraph, which has traditionally been a very strong supporter of the Conservative party. The Labour party's work with the media has indicated that it can be possible to ensure that all newspapers support the same policy from different perspectives.

The paper of Labour's real heartland
Article Abstract:
The Daily Mirror is read by the UK Labour party's core voters. Many of its readers purchase it every day because they have been brought up to feel that it backs the Labour party. The newspaper remained loyal to the Labour party even when its fortunes were very low, and the party would suffer considerable damage if The Daily Mirror suddenly began criticizing the government on behalf of readers who felt neglected by the party.
