The Tories are using negative campaigning as well, on TV, Newspapers and on this forum. I appreciate it is mostly a Tory forum but when someone comments positively on Labour they tend to get statistic remarks, a lot of the
emotive, and a generally dismissive attitude as if the factual reality is that only the Tories are fit to win the election. Such a statement is only a matter of opinion.
Tories started the 'I did x, Vote for Me' posters that had Gordon Brown on it. The Sun has been especially nasty to Labour and personally on Brown (remember the 'Widow's letter' thing). The Daily Mail even did that horrible attack on Gordon Brown's wife which someone linked to earlier.
It's looking like it's going to be a nasty election but to pretend it's Labour only is wrong. Tories and the Lib Dems are doing their bit to drag down the overall tone.
