Salford & Eccles Liberal Democrat PPC Norman Owen meets Nick Clegg
Posted on behalf of Salford Liberal Democrats

On Thursday 17th December 2009, the Liberal Democrat’s Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Salford & Eccles, Councillor Norman Owen, talked with Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg following a very successful Town Hall meeting in Rochdale.

Councillor Owen said:

“It was very welcome to see so many people taking an active interest in politics. There was a good mix of people at the meeting from across Lancashire and Greater Manchester, including members of the Liberal Democrats and the general public as well as some members of opposing parties. The social composition of the area was also very well represented and Nick was eager to hear questions from all perspectives.”

Councillor Owen added:

“During the meeting, Nick demonstrated his passion for positive change in our country. He answered a wide range of questions covering health, education, environmental issues and the country’s financial problems. His answers demonstrated that The Liberal Democrats are the only viable choice given Gordon Brown’s failing government and a Conservative party that would lead us deeper into recession.”

Councillor Owen went on to say:

“I was particularly impressed with the way that Nick handled persistent questions from BNP members, who had clearly come along to try and hijack the evening. Nick was exceptionally strong when asked difficult questions over the ongoing conflicts in Iraq & Afghanistan, pointing out that The Liberal Democrats were the only party to oppose the invasion of Iraq.”

Councillor Owen continued:

“Following the Town Hall meeting, I was pleased to be able to chat with Nick about our plans for next year’s general election in Salford & Eccles. It was gratifying to receive firm support from the leader of our party.”

Norman, this is how much interest there is in the Liberals, you’ve got no chance. Two horse race you would still loose even if the horse in front had a nail piercing its hoof. You’re still wet behind the ears. You and your party have blood on your hands.
