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.
which says a lot for British politics

(agree by the way)

it must be a nightmare for young new voters they must have no idea what exactly they are voting for (if they even bother)it must be a right turn off for some
