I have not found that regularly reading the Telegraph (though I never actually buy it) has made me vote Tory, and if anything I find myself even more of a zealot for liberal views in recent times. I do read it as "entertainment", and for intelligence on what the Tories are thinking. I look elsewhere to discover accurate information on news that is important, and for present liberal thinking.
