Thank you Bernard .. wonder how long the present robe has been in service ... oh, and is that fur really mink ?

I am getting more confused by the minute. An elected Mayor is being portrayed as someone who has powers tantamount to Leader of the Council but, yes, wouldn't be if the opposition got in during he or she's term.
Off to do more research on this subject... bet many members of the public will be baffled by this system too. Think would have to do some sort of leaflet drop first ... explaining; then a referendum, then the actual election.
Oh sod it .. stay with the yearly one .. we understand that up 'ere in t'North...
