Well in truth, had The Sun and News of the World continued to support Labour in the last election and had Labour won enough seats to form the govt even as a coalition then they too would have continued to court the Murdochs.

However the question mark that was, is and always will be until the end of this saga is the David Cameron appointment of Andy Coulson. It has turned out to be a massive error of judgement and if Coulson ends up with any criminal charges to answer,it will be even worse.

The fact the police investigation is likely to take 2 to 3 years to complete,means that this will be closing or just closed at the time of the next election and while I do not believe Cameron will fall because of this,I do believe he will be permanently politically damaged as a leader and will therefore probably lose the next election.
