THE shockingly low turnout for the election of our so-called 'metro mayor' means the position holds almost zero legitimacy.

Not surprising so few bothered to vote as nobody was ever asked if we even wanted a mayor ruling the roost across the whole of Merseyside.

The "Northern Powerhouse" became a dead duck as soon as George Osborne got the sack from Theresa May.

Time to consign it to the dustbin of history.
