[QUOTE=Bill Darlington;11614223]The mayor, today, posted on Facebook and Instagram his big airport pre election update
claiming overwhelming success including the fact that the airport is bursting with jobs and investments, just a little over the top....he also claimed massive Willis investment and that they already have 100 current employees , more likely a whole lot less, and delivering cargo flights, that the new £200 million business park is now open, with many more units coming, and of course if he's elected Malaga and Tenerife flights, it was expected that he would make a big airport update/promotion, but I thought it e be a little nearer to the election date , so maybe they'll be another even more OTT media post next month/]

Do rules of purdah apply to mayoral elections as they do for parliamentary elections?

If they do, then at some point he will be bound by them and not allowed to use the Airport as a good news platform (e.g. announcing new routes for political advantage).
