ments to the perils of populist politics. This is generally recognised but not fully explored in the book. In his sage contribution to the volume, Svara (p. 104) reminds us that rather than talking about leadership per se, ‘the question is not whether to have a [directly] elected mayor but rather about the institutional setting in which the mayor operates and the style of leadership associated with each setting’. This is key, and – as noted by Hambleton (p. 257) – passions can run deep on the issue. But there is scope for plenty more work on the topic – particularly of an empirical nature.
