Mayor Of London

[gulliver1]

Sadiq Khan, Labour, has won the election for Mayor of London for the second time.
At least he won't be spending Tax payers money on Buxom Blondes, as a previous Mayor did, when was elected twice.

London is full to brimming with luvvies with properties worth millions, they vote Labour because like my friends who do, do so because they have this strange vision of the downtrodden Labour man, cloth cap and all that old malarky, not realising that those people are trying to climb the ladder of aspiration.

[emmie]

even Bobbi has had words over this Apc and he was insistent he lives abroad.

Gulliver has stated several times that he does not live in the uk but will not say where he lives.

Why was the post of Mayor of London created?.

[Apc2604]

Yep, all the young luvvies and so called Woke well heeled people now vote labour. However, it's only for appearances sake. I wonder how many of them would put their hands in their pockets for the unfortunate ?

Emmie, Your post at 12.01,....What is so significant about another poster... "Having Words"... What are you trying to imply.?

[emmie]

The first such political post was the Mayor of London, created as the executive of the Greater London Authority in 2000 as part of a reform of the local government of Greater London. Since the Local Government Act 2000, all of the several hundred principal local councils in England and Wales are required to review their executive arrangements.

// Why was the post of Mayor of London created?. //

to be the head of the executive of the Greater London Authority, as requested by the population by referendum in 1998. the post was created by the Greater London Authority Act in 1999, by the Blair Labour Government. The first mayor - the first directly elected mayor in the UK - was Ken Livingstone.

Apc, who knows, my friends who are well off by most people's standard vote Labour, why i just don't know. we try not to talk about it but sometimes it just crops up. we don't argue about it however just i do my thing and she does hers.

[gulliver1]

So the post of "Mayor of London" was created by a Labour Govt . Then turned into a sex and spend postition when Boris took it over. Bet Boris loved Labour for that one.

[emmie]

that not very candidate was a surprise to Khan, he did better than expected- but he didn't win, perhaps if he has a try next time he will. his policies of more youth workers was a plus from me.

[emmie]

Ken Livingstone, every communist, trotskyite friends, where he served at our local council when they used to fly the red flag, christ what a shambles he was for London.

[gulliver1]

Is the post of Mayor of London limited to , two terms only by the same candidate.?

[gulliver1]

12.44 It was shouted from the roof tops, and certainly no secret , this is just a case of Emmie twisting the truth to her own advantage.

how often is the Mayor of London elected?
Mayors are elected for a period of four years, with no limit to the number of terms served. Under the Greater London Authority Act 1999, mayoral elections are held on the first Thursday in May in the fourth calendar year following the previous election, unless varied by an order by the Secretary of State.
