What is the London Mayoralty?
The London Mayor is a powerful elected position, responsible for strategic city-wide issues like transport, policing, housing, and economic development. It is distinct from the City of London Corporation. Cleverly's focus on 'local issues' highlights the Mayor's role in directly impacting daily life for millions of Londoners, rather than national policy debates.
