So election day has come and gone, North Swindon has chosen its new MP.

With a Tory Goverment, Tory run Borough Council and a Tory MP there are no excuses anymore, I hope those people who voted Conservative see there faith repaid with improvements in the area.

I thank all those who helped, supported and voted for me.

Swindon is a great place and I am already looking forward to the next election.

Before the election I wrote a post on how voting Lib Dem would bring the Tories to power.  It gives me no pleasure to have been proven correct,  but I would suggest that Lib Dem voters who are worried about this move to the right should consider joining Labour and helping me win back North Swindon for the only remaining UK progressive party. And if you join now you get to vote in the Leadership contest!  To join click on the link to the right of this post.

Victor Agarwal, Labour Candidate North Swindon

The Lib Dem vote in North Swindon in the 2005 General Election was only 15%.  Given this small base- support they cannot win this seat and I hope their potential supporters will agree with me that a Lib Dem vote here is effectively a Tory vote.  The last thing that Swindon needs is a Tory Council and Tory representatives in Westminster who risk the recovery and dont fight for local jobs and services.

However, Labour and the Liberal Democrats share a lot of progressive ideals, and the Lib Dems agree with Labour in many areas.  Labour is committed to having a referendum on introducing a form of proportional system.  This will certainly benefit the Lib Dems, and is fiercely opposed by the Tories.

So in both the national and local elections on Thursday can I ask all progressive voters to put their cross beside Agarwal and other excellent local labour candidates like Laura Baker in Penhill – shown here  leading the Canvassing team….  SO on Thursday …..

Vote for JOBS – remember there is 2% less unemployment in the UK than in Europe and the USA.

Vote for the RECOVERY –  remember that the OECD forecasts that next quarter the UK economy will be growing 2nd fastest in Europe.

Vote for FAIRNESS for the working man and woman – remember the Tories are committed to giving a £200,000 inheritance tax break to the 3,000 wealthiest families in Britain.

Vote for Victor Agarwal,  The Labour Candidate for North Swindon
