Tom Brake Director of Unlock Democracy Quote: "a vote every 4 or 5 years in a General Election no longer does the trick. Initiatives like the Greater Manchester Assembly are essential for reconnecting and empowering local people. They want to be active participants in deciding how to shape their lives, not passive recipients of others' deliberations."
