Oldham East and Saddleworth by-election –Greater Manchester UK 13-01-2011

Debbie Abrahams (Labour candidate) won with a majority of 3,558 over the LIb-Dems in second place

January 14 coincides with the anniversary of the conference, held in Bradford 14–16 January 1893, that proved to be the foundation of the Independent Labour Party. ‘That’s appropriate, Abrahams says, since the ILP was formed when working people decided that the Liberals could not be trusted to represent their interests.’
