Andy Burnham has, however, proven his ability to chuck a civil service approved speech in the bin and decide on an issue for himself, when confronted with public opinion. Just ask any of the families of the Hillsborough 96. He has God-like status around Merseyside, where admittedly they would vote for a monkey in a red rosette anyway, but you get the idea. If he can play on the compassionate man of the people thing, he may do well.
