Andy Burnham urges Labour to consider proportional representation amid talk of coalition with Lib Dems
, Andy Burnham said: "I think proportional representation would have the effect of empowering places over the civil service and the machine because I think the way parliament currently works is that it doesn't fully empower all parts of the country."
He continued: "I certainly think it should not be taken off the table and think it should considered as part of radical package to rewire the country and make the country work better for all people and all places. "I would include in that a senate of the nations and regions to replace the unelected lords, I would also include in that more devolution of power out of the Westminster system, which is clearly working in Greater Manchester.
"If you come to our city right now you will see the skyline has dramatically changed, there's a lot of positive energy floating around Manchester. "Britain needs to look at this period we've lived through where we've sunk into a pit of dysfunctional politics and we have to climb out of it with a more radical [move] possibly based on more consensus between parties where they can agree."
