Give people who work in London a right to vote for the next mayor of London

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

I believe people who work in London and live outside of London should be given the right to vote for the next mayor of London. The mayor makes decisions which effect the people who work in London as much as Londoners for example the ulez expansion.
I believe the government are the right people to make this decision, as they are independent from the mayors office.
I believe we should have a referendum style vote.
