Devolution is a dishonest title for this blatant power grab. Creating more power for the Government by creating a governor that they directly delegate to act on their behalf.
The two mayors i’m aware of, Sadiq, who needs no intro, and Andy Burnham, mayor of greater manchester.
Which by the way is MULTIPLE CITIES. Has granted sweeping power to two individuals over a huge population.
London: 8.8 million
Greater Manchester: 2.9 million people
Which includes a huge amount of Land, farmland included. Ulez in London and Lez in Greater Manchester being an example of how absurd their power is.
Lez in GM seemingly stalled. For now. Lucky us. But also, Sadiq can be seen dismissing and ignoring issues on the Rape Gangs. Andy Burnham may have come out calling for a National Inquiry, but he has also on many occasions dismissed victims face to face. Including one case with a victim of the police sexually assaulting her AFTER going to them for help with the gang…
This is Anecdotal so i would ask you to confirm before using this to debate or to claim with.
Simply put. Devolution is a Power grab. Abolish it.
