It's probably totally biased and not backed up by any data, but by a long way the most signs I have seen outside properties in London is Lib dem signs, so that kind of makes sense.
When I have been outside London recently though, seems to be a lot more Labour signs. Probably just a bit of a bubble in London.
oheyitsd-
I'm not keeping my hopes up but it'd certainly be an interesting prospect. Mostly though, I just can't see the press changing much even if the Westminster party balance changes drastically.
You'd think having a Lib Dem opposition and a decimated Tory party both looking at, say, proportional representation could mean some serious changes in perspective, I just can't really imagine that happening.

There’s a few polls doing the rounds showing a possibility that the Lib Dems could be the official opposition. That sounds fantastic to me, hopefully pulling Labour in a more progressive direction, and making the Tories an irrelevance.
I do wonder how the press will behave if that happens though. Can’t really imagine them giving Lib Dems the same space in news coverage that the current two main parties get. I’d imagine it’d take quite an ideological adjustment…
