| Message | Mr speaker, No-one wants to remove the freedom of genuine Citizens to elect their government, local or imperial, but elected mayors simply makes a mockery of local politics, removing the genuine discussion of local issues we would expect town councillors to discuss and replacing them with an appalling popularity contest built around personality cults. I yield the floor. |

| Message | To the Rt Hon representative from the BCD, Sir, you make a profound point. I on behalf of the my Party was fully prepared to vote against this proposal until that simple statement. Bravo. I yield the floor. |
