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
