Fleet Street is divided today about the wisdom of returning Labour to government.

The Sun has few doubts about who the country should be voting for.

Its front page strikes a sporting note, with the nation being urged to "vote Labour today" above the message "come on you reds".

The FT says that the prospect of a Labour third term is a testimony to the success of the Blair/Brown double act.

"The two men have complemented each other in eight years in government: Mr Blair the visionary; Mr Brown the steely man in touch with Labour's soul." 

The Times says that despite it being an "uninspiring" campaign, the electorate has a duty to vote.

But for the leaders, "polling day is invariably the longest day of the entire contest".

The Telegraph says it has not been "altogether happy" with the Conservatives' campaign, but contrasts the party's "small government+freedom+low tax" position with the tarnished offerings of the prime minister - recommending readers to "vote Tory" today. 

The Independent tells its readers that there is a "clear choice so don't waste your vote". The paper says: "For any responsible citizen, apathy is no option."

The Guardian is relieved the campaign is over, saying that "many of the worst, though often also many of the most irresistible, features of modern election campaigning have been on display over the past three and a half weeks".

The Mail agrees that the campaign has "generated more heat than light" and goes on to warn that the nation is going to the polls "under the shadow of fraud".

Meanwhile, the Express uses its coverage to set out "Why we don't want to wake up to another five years of Tony Blair".
