Tories plan for elected mayors

17 February 2009

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 expect your running mate to be a panto horse. Nothing less.

    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.

BiNS is mostly by Jon Bounds a Birmingham based social web consultant, producer and writer., You can hire him to work on your social web campaigns or anything really—he's not fussy. Follow him on twitter or drop him an email.

There's also the odd bit of stuff from Danny Smith.

Feel free to send us anything you're interested in - or think we might be.
