Vote John Welsh for Hyde Newton

Well it's election time again, this time under unfortunate circumstances through the passing of Labour CLLR Margaret Oldham.

I always found Margaret to be courteous, though i don't agree with her Party, i can respect the fact she worked for the people she was lucky to represent.

Having been hitting the streets for the past week or so every night.

I can say we're getting some great responses from people we're meeting.A lot of people are sick and tired hearing how wonderful this Council and the Labour Party are rammed down their throats.

If it's not the propaganda page.... sorry the letters page in the Advertiser, or the disgraceful Tameside Citizen, each tax payer pays for, telling us how lucky we are to have the likes of Roy Oldham at the helm, they can switch the TV on and see on a daily basis that the Labour government are bailing Banks out and wasting money left right and centre.

What the Labour Party are not telling you is, that Tameside Council will be putting up Council Tax AGAIN by in the region of 3%, great just what we need in a recession, or is that the Credit Crunch as it's been repackaged.

Maybe they can waste more money on street statues? or bronze plaques? just what we need.

Instead of wasting money, and by God does this Council waste money they could look at not increasing Council Tax? or even reducing it.

Maybe that will help struggling families in this current climate?

Getting back to the Election, our Candidate is John Welsh.

Now having been working with John on his election, I have got the impression that he is a quality candidate, not only is he a strong Family man, but he is passionate about Newton.

The area he grew up, and getting elected is about him being a strong and alternative voice for the people of Newton, and not a cash cow like some other candidates view it as.

It's so refreshing to hear someone with a similar passion for what he does.

Now i know Labour are worried, and they should be.

But having two local Mp's working on a Council campaign, is unheard of.

And if Labour wasn't doing so badly nationally, then you wouldn't have seen them.

I am quite surprised James "I am not an MP I am a Cabinet minister" Purnell knew where Newton was, maybe it could be another place for him to lose his wallet?

But Mr Purnell doesn't have to be there, to be featured in a picture does he?.

Between the top three Parties there is only a couple of hundred votes between them, so it could be any ones.

Don't forget last Mays election the Conservatives pulled nearly 1000 more votes than Labour, across Hyde and Stalybridge.

This is a massive wake up call to them, and what have they done since? absolutely nothing!

But i want to stress, that if you want to send a real message to this morally corrupt Labour Party? then a vote for the Conservatives is the only vote.

A vote for any other party, and you will be electing a Labour CLLR.

It is as simple as that, no other party can make an impact on Tameside Council but the Conservatives.

So with your ballot paper Vote John Welsh, Vote Conservative.
