Comment by Albert.Spiby ( member )  28th February 2010 Please don't vote out of habit. Voting Labour because you support The Working Class is like voting for Jeremy Clarkson beacuse you like Public Transport!

Comment by Guest  9th February 2010 glad the parasite mcfadden didnt win just wants to get on blears gravy train

Comment by Guest  9th February 2010 I think this kid's just got to get his name out there as, like you say, he could get the protest vote not going to Blears, although Joe O Neill's a strong local candidate with a track record in helping his constituents

Comment by Guest  8th February 2010 David could well pick up the protest vote, if that is significant numbers wise we'll have to wait and see but I'm sure he will liven up the race regardless.

Comment by Guest  8th February 2010 Its looking better for Blears all the time I'm afraid, I think that the conservatives could push a fairly weak Lib dem campaign / candidate into third. Of the independents only J O'Niell has any real experience and local support but I just don't see him as a political animal campaigning wise and as a result he probably won't break the "I vote for the party not the candidate" habit of most voters. The only certainty is Carvath and the raving religious anti women/gay/everyone who's not an evangelical Christian party are a dead cert for last place.

Comment by Guest  8th February 2010 Blears first (due to the blinkered 'my dad voted liebour, so will I') brigade. Tina Wingfield second.

Comment by Guest  8th February 2010 "Jo" O'Neill is unknown with no support? Um, he's an elected councillor.

Comment by Guest  8th February 2010 Jo O'Neil and Carvath will without a doubt finish last. They are unknown and have no visible support from anywhere.

Comment by Guest  7th February 2010 Salfordians, if you want a Marxist to represent you then vote for David Henry, but remember this he will be funded by the Trade Unions, so he wont be representing Salford he will be representing the Unions. Communist always have Blood on their hands, through the years.

Comment by jerry ( member )  7th February 2010 Here's my early pick for the results. Blears to win with a vastly reduced majority. Owen distant second, Joe O Neill a respectable third, David an enterprising fourth, Conservatives fifth, BNP pick up a couple of stragglers and Carvath a dead last

Comment by Guest  6th February 2010 WOW Brilliant. With David being such a strong local candidate, rumour has it David is being poached by a number of groups and hasn't confirmed if he will stand for the trade unionists. It's unusual for a candidate to have so much support from all the various Socialist groups, the Labour party rebels and the Green Party. Where are all Carvath's supporters? do any other candidates anywhere support him?? It's David Henry vs Blears vs Lib Dems. No question.

Comment by Guest  6th February 2010 I guess Richard thinks sitting in meetings and not saying anything, and peeping through brothel windows with his imaginary friends, amounts to a "track record in politics".

Comment by Guest  5th February 2010 Saw his blog where he threatens to go round and slap "celebrity muppets" who stand as PPC's, priceless. Can we not nominate , erm, well basically anybody , Frank Evans?, Steve Foster?, or just some bloke from the vault. What a pudding.

Comment by Guest  5th February 2010 He'll never challenge Carvath to last spot! On anther but related note of the all time classic comedy lines has to have been Carvaths dismissal of the story that Chris Eccleston's might be a possible candidate, Carvaths line is........... "I think this is a load of rubbish, Eccleston's track record in politics is Zero." ......pot calling kettle come in kettle anyone . RB

Comment by Guest  5th February 2010 Looks like it will be straight race btween him and Carvath for last spot.

Comment by Guest  5th February 2010 Is it Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver?. If so we can really look forward to see the streets being cleaned up. Best of luck.
