On reflection, it bore the hallmarks of Miliband and, some suggest, was inspired by the people writing the manifesto with its call for a new, unspecified level of community governance.
It is a model for other areas and is born, says Miliband, out of the need for efficiency, rather than the case for extending local democracy into a wider sphere.
