Lord mayoral misinformation

The truth is clearly not welcome in her media campaign. The facts are as follows and not all businesses are entitled to two votes. In fact, only businesses with two or more directors will be able to register two voters; single operators and single director companies are entitled to one vote only, not two as being trumpeted by those who know better.
