Just how ‘localisist’ is that!

David Cameron, Blair-lite as ever, has been very open in his support for directly elected Mayors. But Cameron knows that Blair’s attempts to get Mayor’s through referendums often resulted in people saying ‘no, we don’t want one thank you’. And in Stoke-on-Trent the hopeless elected Mayor system proved so popular that people voted to scrap it.
But this article in The Birmingham Post seems to imply that the lard-arsed Pickles has found a way round the democratic will of the people. It implies that the rotund Westminster politician is going to have a vote in the 12 major cities to elect a Mayor… and then ask people if they actually want one or not!!!
Very bloody localist!
