It does not make sense to replicate simple majority voting in London. In combined authorities and combined county authorities, mayors make decisions with constituent members. In London, the mayor is elected by the people of London to make decisions and it is the assembly’s role to scrutinise those decisions. It is a false equivalence to compare the two systems. Simple majority voting in London would make it harder for the mayor to exercise executive authority and deliver for Londoners in areas where other mayors are being empowered.
