Sažetak

Devising a system of government for London has had to
balance two conflicting objectives. First, providing the capital
with a system of government that recognises, and can
direct, the unique political, economic, social and spatial
power that the city has. Secondly, limiting and constraining
the political power of London and its governing arrangements,
to ensure neither could undermine the power of
the national government, based as it is, in London. The
paper sets out a history of the development of London government,
the current arrangements for governing London
that were created by the 1999 Greater London Authority
Act and examines the role of the London Assembly and
Mayor, including the most recent set of 2012 London elections.
It also considers whether the current London arrangements
represent a new and more imaginative way for
citizens to engage with the political processes, or whether
any public participation in a representative democracy will
face political problems.
