mayors
. Polly Curtis on the Reality Check blog is now wondering what is the point of elected mayors? She writes:
What will the new generation of mayors actually be able to do? What is the record of mayors in London and around the world? What are the policy implications?
I will discuss these issues and to inform. Are you aware of any evidence to assess the impact of mayors in other areas? What do you think?
My colleague Paul Owen, Live blogging is the last day of campaigning across the country
Meanwhile, the blog of Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Jenny Jones focuses on elections Mayors of Leeds and Bradford, said that whatever the outcome, local leaders must ensure the north is not paralyzed by poverty:
people in big cities like Leeds North, where he directs JRHT centers, and Bradford, which has a program of JRF 10 years of work - are invited to vote for or against an elected mayor. Whether you vote yes or no, what really matters is that local management of Yorkshire says it is not known for crushing poverty. Otherwise, the point of view, it is "dark north" collage. And I, for one, do not want that.
blog and IPPR, Ed Cox said that the mayors of the city should be a beginning, but he says "The mayors of the metropolitan area", covering the regions metropolitan and major powers, would be a better idea:
... Perhaps the best way to mayors of Metro's central government to provide significant incentives for subregional collaboration with the need for proper accountability. The current process of the city "good deals can be a first step in this direction, but the Government must be clearer on (a) a set of skills that can be offered to any city of the proposals sub-region and (b) the basis on which a mayor Metro can be established. Local authorities that make up a city-region must be clear in the knowledge that the municipal authorities responsible for regional-guarantee of a specific set of skills.
Thus, the referendum on May 3, should be the beginning. The mayors of the city offer some scope for greater decentralization and increased accountability, but will not determine the economic development in a manner to the current crisis. The mayors of the metropolitan area and other forms of sub-regional government, have much more to offer. Invested sufficient powers and placed in a metro level, cautious and thoughtful government is an essential in any plan to restore vitality and economic vitality of democracy in the English city-region.

. Charity
be subjected to torture
, which launched an awareness campaign by launching a series of fake job ads. Perhaps you saw the ad in MediaGuardian on Monday by a torturer. Civil society indicates that the marketing firm Ogilvy & Mather developed the campaign for paid and free advertising space. The ads direct readers to a page on the charity website where you can donate, learn about charity and how to participate. The executive director of the charity, Keith Best, said:
is hard not to become desensitized to the power of stories and images of conflict and suffering that we all receive through the news every day. These ads are designed to make people stop in their tracks and look to torture in a new perspective.
hope these ads will reach new audiences, who are not aware of the vital work done free of torture, and consider joining us in helping the survivors and take a stand against the Torture as a result.
