'Sometimes politicians don't stop enough and listen'
Andy Burnham has won four more years as Greater Manchester mayor in an 'emphatic' re-election result. The Labour politician secured support from more than 420,000 people, having won in almost every part of the city-region- even where his party lost council seats.
Taking to the stage after the results were announced on Saturday , Mr Burnham acknowledged the support he received from people who usually vote for other parties. He declared this 'new politics' pioneered in Greater Manchester 'emphatically' endorsed. "From parents in Harpurhey trapped in debt because of the pernicious combination of the housing and the benefit systems. From communities suffering the after effects of youth violence and struggling to make sense of it.
"Greater Manchester is ready to break out of this. Devolution in England is working and these elections show voters are buying into it and it is time now to go much further." But he said he is 'proud' of the principled stance his party has taken locally, calling for a ceasefire early on in the conflict. He said his party must now work to 'bring people together', listen to what voters have told them at these elections and 'represent that feeling'.
