The dinner, which was held on Thursday 16th October at The White Hart in Lydgate, Saddleworth, was packed to capacity with people keen to listen to Vince Cable speak about the current financial crisis. Elwyn Watkins, Oldham East & Saddleworth Parliamentary hopeful, said, "Everyone was thrilled to be able to hear what Vince Cable had to say about the current state of the economy, as he has been an incredibly accurate forecaster of recent economic events. "And it wasn't just party members who were keen to meet Vince - we even had a few Conservatives buy tickets because Vince Cable speaks such good sense! "We are very proud to be able to attract him to Oldham at a time when the Liberal Democrats have recently taken leadership of the Council, and his visit shows that our prospects are of taking the parliamentary seat in Oldham East & Saddleworth are taken very seriously at a national level.
