Political Allegiance
Unlike most national newspapers, the Daily Star has limited articles on politics and has rarely shown clear support for any specific party or leader; although in the run-up to the 2010 general election the newspaper printed several articles which hinted that it wanted to see Labour and Gordon Brown voted out of power, while at the same time offering no explicit support for the Conservatives or their leader David Cameron – who ultimately became Prime Minister following the formation a new coalition government with the Liberal Democrats when his party failed to gain an overall majority in parliament.
