Directly elected mayors are wholly at variance with our parliamentary, rather than presidential, res publica.
Eric Pickles is already permitting councils to return to the old committee system. He ought to require that they do so. And abolish directly elected mayors.
An ideal opportunity might present itself if Boris Johnson is re-elected, since the safe seat of Reigate has been lined up for him, meaning that he has absolutely no intention of serving a full term.
