| These words were recently received: How to abolish the Mayor of London, the Greater London Authority, and Transport for London? During the mid-1980s, Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher took the control of London Transport away from the Greater London Council and then abolished the Greater London Council by simply changing legislation in parliament. Then in 1997, when Tony Blair’s New Labour was elected into government, he held a referendum on establishing the Mayor of London and the Greater London Authority, which led to the Congestion Charge in 2003. The referendum held in 1998 had a yes vote of 72.01%, but the voter turnout was low, just at 34.1%, and they still went ahead despite no voter threshold! There’s no law requiring a referendum to abolish the Greater London Authority and the Mayor of London. Here are the instructions: 1. Lobby your Member of Parliament and the members of the Lords to submit a bill in Parliament to repeal the ‘Greater London Authority Act 1999’ and the relevant legislation to immediately abolish the Greater London Authority. This includes contacting the local political party groups where they have their MPs elected. https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/laws/ https://www.gov.uk/guidance/legislative-process-taking-a-bill-through-parliament https://members.parliament.uk/members/Commons https://www.parliament.uk/business/lords/whos-in-the-house-of-lords/get-in-touch-with-members/ 2. Mention to your MP and the Lord why it is important for them to change the law by abolishing the Mayor of London, the GLA, and transferring the control of London’s transport back to government control. Specifically mention how abolishing the Mayor of London will help reduce council tax for residents in London, services will be improved under government control (such as London Transport), corruption and embezzlement will be reduced, and road users will not face any charges (Congestion Charge, ULEZ etc.) when they drive into London once the Greater London Authority Act 1999 is repealed. 3. Contact your local councillors to support the bill by passing a motion in their local council; this includes the benefits of abolishing the Greater London Authority. 4. Share this message with various groups, including anti-ULEZ and road user groups, for further support. 5. Keep pressuring the MPs and Lords to get the law repealed. The Conservative government still has the majority in the House of Commons to stop the ULEZ by simply changing the law, but they refuse to do so! These instructions are really simple; the cause of the problem is the lawmakers, as they have the power to improve our lives by changing the law! If they refuse to abide by these instructions or to support the abolition of the GLA, They are implicit; this includes the trade unions that are backing the Labour Party, as they are scabs and traitors to the working class with their incompetence. |
