Order Description
the questions is:

directly elected mayors and presidential local goverment or indirectly eected leaders and collective local decision-making. consider and assess the approches to the selection of the local political
leaders presented by direct and indirect election and discuss the merits and demerits of both approches.

Pick at least four countries to compare and contrast how majors are elected. I would go with Britain/France (council elected mayors) vs United States/Germany (directly elected mayors). Remember
although Britain has council elected mayors, it has started to introduce directly elected mayors.
