I thought about voting in the local elections, but in the end I decided against it.
I belonged to that very large number of people – millions – who never wanted the embarrassment and expense of a London mayor in the first place.
We are comparable to the millions and millions of Welsh who never wanted a national assembly – the majority of Welsh people. Millions of Scots – not a majority, but nonetheless a sizeable proportion of the population – did not want a Scottish parliament.
