Mr Western's predecessor, Kate Green, had stepped down as Stretford and Urmston MP to take on her new role as deputy mayor for Greater Manchester, with responsibility for policing.
Mr Jerrome said: "Stretford and Urmston is always difficult for us and with the current voting system, it is very unfair. A lot of people feel that it becomes a two horse race and they can't really vote for the party they believe in, so a lot of votes are wasted."
