RESPECT Statement on George Galloway Election Victory - "The Bradford Spring"

THE BRADFORD SPRING: A STUNNING ELECTION VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE OF BRADFORD WEST

http://www.respectparty.org/2012/03/stunning-election-victory-for-people-of.html

This Thursday, 29th March, the people of Bradford West sent a clear message to the leaders of  Labour, the Liberals and the Tories: "You can no longer take our votes for granted."

George won 18,341 votes beating Labour by over 10,000 votes.

In a stunning by-election victory, won over less than three short weeks, Respect's George Galloway has shaken up the political 'establishment.'  Labour's is vote down, the Tory is vote down and the Lib-Dems are reduced to the fringe. Surely the austerity agenda of the Con-Dem Coalition or the 'austerity-lite' of New Labour fails utterly to address the concerns of everyday people.

The Respect Party intends to take George's victory further in the local elections in May - Bradford deserves Respect in the council as well as at Westminster.
