Politics in Manchester
The City of Manchester forms part of the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester, which had its county council abolished (along with the other metropolitan counties) in 1986. Manchester consists of several districts, but these districts do not represent a tier of government (though the names are used as political wards).
==Political history==
Manchester has a long and rich political history. It was typically associated with radical politics including the Peterloo Massacre in 1819; the formation of the Anti-Corn Law League in 1839 as well as being the birthplace to some of the most influential works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
Although the radicalism of earlier years no longer exists to the same extent, most of Manchester sits on the left of the political spectrum as is shown by the make up of its City Council (see below). The north of the city is considered as working-class Labour heartland while the southern suburbs tend to be more hospitable to other parties.
The Conservative leader David Cameron has identified Manchester as one of the areas he wishes to win over with his new, more "progressive" policies. Although there was no breakthrough at the 2007 local elections, one Lib Dem Councillor subsequently defected to the Conservatives on 2 January 2008 making him the first Conservative councillor in the city since 1996. This followed the defection of a local Lib Dem MEP in November 2007. The last Conservative MP lost his seat in 1987.
