Abolish the position of Mayor of London!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Since 2000, London has had a directly elected Mayor.
Our current Prime Minister, Boris Johnson is a former incumbent.
The current mayor is Sadiq Khan.
We believe that Mr Khan has used his position to promote his own political agenda to the detriment of our capital city.

Knife crime is rising.
In addition, we have seen the grotesque waste of taxpayers' money on fireworks displays which does not promise London, but Khan's own propaganda.
The BLM marches occurred on his watch as well as other politically orchestrated protests.
We call upon the Government to abolish the position of Mayor of London to be replaced with a Minister for London who would be directly accountable to the Prime Minister and a member of Government with Cabinet rank.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: Hold a referendum in London on removing the role of Mayor of London

Decisions about local governance are a matter for the people of London, so we wouldn't accept a petition calling on the Government to remove this role without a public vote.
