We believe there should be a referendum on allowing Parliament to be able to remove a London Mayor, should a Mayor not fulfil their role to the best of their ability, keep London safe or act professionally.

Currently the only way to remove a mayor is if they do not attend an assembly meeting 6 times in a row, they break the law or they’re voted out. If a mayor shows they are not doing the best job they can for the people of London and visitors, we believe they should be removed to keep everyone safe.
