why does it matter so much who they support??
Because every election the Sun waits until it's blatantly obvious who's gonna win and sides with them, and then claims some credit for the victory.

I don't tend to vote in Elections where my vote won't matter a jot.
Although you could say "well if everyone felt like that...", the reality is that they don't.
When I lived in a Tory strong hold there wasn't much point in voting for anybody else than them, and the same goes for the Labour strong holds I've lived in to.
That's far from being apathetic. Quite the opposite, I'd actively vote for a party who wants to change the system - if I felt that the vote for that party would make any difference at all under the current one.
It really is time to change the system, then the newspapers can start debating policies rather than which one of the two parties they are going to back.
it's not about winning, it's about voting for who reflects your views. whether it be respect or bnp.
I was trying to explain this to a foreign colleague who didn't believe it was possible for a party to get the most votes in this country and lose the election.
I've always thought it was ridiculous.
But unless the party you vote for wins your seat (or has a chance in hell of winning it), your vote may as well go in the bin.

So the Sun's message is:
'Vote Cameron - yes, he's a c**t too, and a toff to boot, but we could all do with a change.'
It's hardly a ringing endorsement, is it?
so it dosn't really matter that much anyway then?!
please elborate dude. if you would.
