The ''Daily Mail'' claims to represent Middle England and Conservative values, opposing the [[liberal]] establishment.

It is generally against [[abortion]], [[same sex marriage|same-sex "marriage"]] and in favour of the [[monarchy]], tax cuts and harsher penalties for criminals. It is generally supportive of [[Israel]], although it has recently been attacked for its lack of support for the war in [[Iraq]].

It endorses the [[Conservative Party]] in most elections, and publicly repudiates groups like the [[British National Party]], who are associated with racist (but in many other respects socialist) policies.
