Belfast's Boris?

Mark Devenport | 13:46 UK time, Wednesday, 23 April 2008

As reported on today's Talkback, the Greens have come out in favour of the idea of Belfast having a directly elected Mayor. Their Holywood representative John Barry says "many cities in the world already have a directly elected Mayor with real powers to improve the delivery of services. People living in New York , Barcelona and London have seen major improvements in the way their cities are run as a result of directly elected Mayors. I am looking forward to the day when citizens of Belfast get the opportunity to elect a Mayor who will be accountable for the delivery of the good quality public services that we deserve."

All of which raises the question, who could be our Ken, and does Belfast have a Boris?
