Tories plan for elected mayors

So, IF the Tories win the next election AND IF the peope of Brum vote in a referendum to have an elected mayor (which they've not shown any great interest in so far) THEN Brmingham will have an election for a mayor.

I have long said that if that happens I'll stand – so I'm declaring now – vote Bounds for Mayor. [link]

    I'd vote for a moritorium on Mayoral elections. Birmingham said "no" to an elected mayor before. Do we have to keep voting until we say "yes"? However, definitely think the slogan "BiNS" is far superior to the slightly pretentious (and copied) "Europe's meeting place" so I'd probably vote for you as well.

    I expect your running mate to be a panto horse. Nothing less.
  • Well, yes. I'm currently ahead in the polls.

    First mover advantage.

  1. Birmingham: It's Not Shit loves Birmingham, its people, arts, animals, buildings, parks, grass verges, factories and bus stops. We've even got a soft spot for the Black Country.

    B:iNS runs The Brummie of the Year Award, Talk Like a Brummie Day and organises odd stuff like spending all day on the eleven bus.

    BiNS is mostly by Jon Bounds, a Birmingham based social web consultant, producer and writer. You can hire him to work on your stuff, or follow him on twitter. There's also stuff from Danny Smith and Karen Strunks.
