	Mayors in the United Kingdom Information
		In England, where a borough or a city is a local government district, the mayor is elected annually by the council from their number and chairs meetings of the council.
		In cases where a town or a city is a civil parish, the mayor is elected from their number by the parish council.
		This is a separate post to the historic and honorific Lord Mayor of London and may be characterised as a strategic, regional, role rather than as anything analogous to previous local government in England.

		One of the particular oddities of the regional government system in the United Kingdom is that while Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales all have regional governments, called national parliaments and somewhat analogous to U.S. states or Canadian provinces, that provide some regional self-government, England does not.
		This disparity is of particular concern to the Liberal Party in the United Kingdom, as it has a political base which is far stronger in England than in the rest of the country, so its chance at regional level power is diluted by the lack of an English regional government.
