A little reported election result - perhaps it does not fit in with the current media agenda - is that Labour won a local by-election in Salford, the seat of Hazel Blears.
Given the current anti-Labour sentiment and the fact that the electorate had plenty of other candidates to choose from, I would be interested to hear from readers why they think Labour held on to this seat.

reasons?
17.5% turnout?
of those 1006 did not vote labour
only 606 did.
9188 people were eligable to vote.
+only 6.6% did vote labour.
hardly a resounding victory nigel
And anybody who voted for the irritable grinning blears would vote for a monkey.
time is running out nigel
and Ian is running!!
Because all politics is local, a good local candidate can always buck any national trend.
