T Jones A brave prediction and I presume the same backing from the FT, GB and Labour will be pleased if thats the case
But I am not so sure at the moment, I have a feeling both will be backing the Tories which may just help them to a slender victory

I don’t think The Economist will be backing either party at the next election. As in 1997 it will probably decide that the Opposition does not deserve to win, but the Government does deserve to lose.

As for the paper being averse to the Tories European programme, I can only assume few people actually read the publication. Not only did The Economist lead the opposition to the EU Constitutional Reform Treaty, but it also raised the inevitability of the UK leaving the EU.

Things may change between now and the election. In the end it will be a collective endorsement (if any) made by the staff, and not interpreted by me…!

I diagnose a touch of SAD, and prescribe a course of Gin & tonic (or whatever is your tipple)
