Peter Mandelson: Don't gamble away the recovery

As an Independent on Sunday poll puts David Cameron's party within touching distance of a working majority in the Commons, Peter Mandelson gives us an indication of who he'll be voting for. "We've reached the point in this election where the time for TV debates is finished and the time for decision has begun. Anyone who has been out on the doorstep knows that there are millions of people who have yet to make up their mind. So there is everything to play for. And Labour is the only serious choice. We have a leader of immense strength and resilience, a man who combines toughness with a deep sense of fairness. A man who has been tested."


"This is the best chance in a generation to revitalise our political system but any such hopes would die if the Conservatives were to gain power this week. The Tories would kill electoral reform stone dead."

The paper goes on to urge readers to vote tactically at the election - against the Tories.  Better than nothing, I suppose.
