A sign of things to come?

The Guardian

has this morning endorsed the dead ducks:

"The case for supporting the Liberal Democrats is now very strong. Anyone who believes Britain should be an engaged member of the European Union - who does not believe scare stories about the Lisbon treaty and who wants to back a party that campaigns on this - should vote Lib Dem. So should anyone who cares about constitutional renewal. Nick Clegg's party has ancestral roots in the battle to establish democracy, and its radical ideas stand in uplifting contrast to Labour's still too cautious agenda. The higher the Lib Dem vote, the more progressive plans for political renewal will be shown to have popular backing. People should remember, too, that on two other great crises - the debt-driven collapse of high finance and climate change - the Lib Dems led the way."

Yet another low for Labour:

"It is hard to find the same enthusiasm for Labour's campaign. Indeed, it is hard to tell what Labour stands for at all in this contest, except the repeated claim on its website that a Conservative government would be worse. That evades the progressive issues of the moment, and also the point of a European election. The party has forgotten how to be positive. Without an agenda for the future, it will not win on the past."

In other news it seems The Sun, a newspaper that actually has influence, is
