Gary Tumulty Salford Organiser says “People are still voting labour for some reason, you could put a tea pot up in labours name and that would get elected under their banner
.
“It seems labour have done a lot of work getting people to vote by post, So we need to take a leaf out of their book, a lot of soft support is witnessed time and time again, thumbs up is around 6 to 1 in Salford, the problem is getting them in to the polling stations, the way round this is to encourage them sort of supporters to take a postal vote, it’s a done deal and a block of votes to us

“I am very happy with tonight’s result’s the lib dems used to have a councillor in this ward, so to come behind us, is a massive result, In Salford now the British National Party is the third main party.” Gary concluded
