Interesting. I knew it had a separate government but wasn't aware it was elected by corporations. (We have a similar system in the US, but corporations pick their two favorite candidates and then let the people choose ;))

Everywhere in England and Wales has had local government since the 19th Century. City of London Ward Lists consist of c19,000 individuals, who have one vote each. Corporations voting = urban myth

Practically no one actually lives in the business district. It would be ridiculous for those few thousand people to set policy for the City. It would make more sense for it to be under the control of Greater London but no one wants to abolish the historic Corporation of London.

In the UK different police forces have different specialities. The City force specialises in financial crime.

It's ridiculous to have a police force controlled by only corporations.

People will gladly accept thoe abolishment. Corporations will probably vote the other way.

true, but otoh it worked so far

as someone on the Ward List, it's not elected by corporations at all

companies do get a vote allocation depending on the number of employees they have working in the City, but then these employees can then vote for whoever they want

(and it's a secret ballot)

Corporations have almost twice the vote allocation that residents do, and there is "a named individual who is responsible for nominating the voters for their organisation" [1]

What do you not understand in the phrases: "Worker vote registration" and "businesses and other organisations"?

It is workplaces that nominate voters who then vote by secret ballot in accordance with ROPA.

The City of London police run the cyber crime units (National Fraud Intelligence Bureau) and action fraud nationally:
