    Political ideology and principles aside; As long as there are more MPs in Manchester that belonging to the government in power, Manchester will attract more investment and more money from government.

    You can't eat ideology or principles.
    Firstly, Manchester is a very well run city. That is nationally recognised. They have run rings around Liverpool for sure., when Liverpool has more going for it. I have dealt with Manchester Council, in a small way, and was very impressed with them.

    Then, as they are same colour as the government, they would naturally have the ear of them more than say Lib-Dems. Than is not to say Whitehall is intentionally favouring Manchester, it is just that they know each other more. That is life.

    If Liverpool had a Labour council over the past 10 years I think Liverpool would be a much better city. Nothing against Lib-Dems, but this bunch have been a washout - just plain incompetent at times. No visions no nothing, lots of in-fighting. God help us if the Tories were in power in the city.

    The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?
