Yeah, from what I can tell, Andy’s policies sound very much alike the 1930s and '40s social liberal/FDR-style “business-friendly socialism”. Andy believes in public investment, which not only helps ordinary people but also businesses such as improving roads to make transportation easier for businesses and commuting for workers. In lieu to this, improving public transport also means those who don’t drive not only allows them to commute easily to and from work, but also encourages people to travel more during off-working hours in or around the city for shopping, entertainment etc. As a result, this encouraged people to use more public transport in Greater Manchester which is the city he had been the mayor of. Telling businesses how his policies help to assuage right leaning folks. After all, to become prime minister, Andy ran in a constituency that is right leaning and yet loves him. He easily won 55% of the votes.
