I've just thought of another constitutional probem that will surface in the future. Assuming the Leader's Medal is something that is carried by the holder for life (with a new medal struck at a cost of 77 pounds plus VAT), then the current Leader will wear the medal at every formal occasion.
But correct me if I'm wrong. As yet, he hasn't been Mayor, despite qualifying for the honour due to his being the longest serving member for his party. So when he is eventually elected Mayor, will he be allowed to wear both the Leaders Medal AND the Mayoral Fob?
And how will he be addressed? As Mister Mayor.....
...or as the Old Leader?
