I think that Peter Hitchen's has it right (he usually does) when he writes in today's MoS:

'Please whatever you do, don't let them trick you into voting for the Useless Tories on Thursday. It will only encourage David Cameron to hug more hoodies.

'Having failed to make Mr Cameron popular like a rock star, the professional manipulators have hit on a new idea easier to achieve. They are trying to make Gordon Brown as unpopular as a Big Brother villain, an anti-star with negative charisma. That way they hope to ensure a change of figurehead without change of policy. This may well provide cover for people who idiotically voted for New Labour in 1997, 2001 and 2005 to switch to the Blairite Tories [Tony Benn calls them blue Labour]. But no intelligent person should fall for such a crude trick.
