A great night for the Conservative in Ancoats and Clayton

I’d like to thank the voters of Ancoats and Clayton last night. Last night, the Conservative vote trebled in Ancoats and Clayton. Voters across Manchester and Britain voted against Gordon Brown. I am incredibly proud that 334 voters in Ancoats and Clayton, the highest Conservative vote in decades in the region, trusted me with their future.

 

While I am dissapointed that I have not beaten Gordon Brown’s New Labour candidate in Ancoats and Clayton, I am incredibly humbled by the excellent result in Ancoats and Clayton. Tonight voters in Ancoats and Clayton, as well as in Manchester and Britain as a whole, have voted against his tax rises on the poor to pay for tax cuts on the well off; Gordon Brown’s rise in Debt in the economy as a whole, causing rising prices of fuel and food; the Gordon Brown who has ignored your view on the European Constitution by renouncing his promise for a referendum on this issue.

 

Unfortunately, there are no local elections in Ancoats and Clayton next year. However, all voters in Ancoats and Clayton can vote against Gordon Brown in the European elections in June 2009. And whenever Gordon Brown gets the bottle to call a general election, we will fight, we will win, and Britain will get the changes it deserves.

well done .an excellent result for you.i hope that you are chosen again as candidate and spend the next 2 years campaigning.
As a tory voter i thought that the results on thursday night were very good and give hope for the future. but campaining all year round with familiar candidates is essential.
its going to take a long time and great effort to get back in manchester, but remember Rome was not built in a day. Also the turnouts in Manchester are awful i suspect many potential tory voters dont bother in Manchester , but they are out there and waiting to be inspired

Thank you very much for your kind support. I have to say I am very pleased by my results, the 4th largest increase in Manchester. The increase in percentage of votes included:

Whallay Range - up 17%
Moston - up 10%
Cheetham - up 9%
Ancoats and Clayton - up 8%
Harpurhey - up 8%

Indeed, our vote rose in 24 out of 32 wards, and in those it was usually due to our vote being squeezed, such as in Chorlton due to tough competition between the Lib Dems and Labour. Indeed, our proportion of the vote increased from 11% to 14.2%, an additional 3,024.

The turnout in Manchester is poor, as all local elections tend to be. I would say that the City Centre turnout was the worse - despite very intense campaigning by all three major parties, the turnout went down from 16% to 15%.

I agree, Rome wasn’t built in a day. However, Thursday’s results are a strong result for us across the city, which will be built upon.
