Councillor Chris Northwood

Support Chris's campaign
Back Chris's campaign in Manchester Central for a liberal alternative through donating below, pledging your vote, or volunteering with our campaign.
Manchester Central is a safe seat for Labour, but a strong liberal challenger will mean Labour can't take Manchester for granted.
The Tories can't win in Manchester Central - the last time they did was before the second World War. The Liberal Democrats are the alternative here. In local elections, only the Liberal Democrats have beaten Labour.
Chris is campaigning for a fair deal for Manchester. A fair deal where all votes matter through proportional representation. A fair deal to eliminate poverty through a guaranteed basic income. A fair deal for housing through building more social housing, and guaranteeing people's right to live in safe, affordable homes.
