In most parts of the country the "Worshipful Society of Apothecaries" plays very little part in local governance...
Here's another video from CGP Grey that explains it rather well:-

...and when did all this start? No body knows. It's so old there are no records.

- BillEllson 4y agoIn theory the Lord Mayor is elected by 20,000 Liverymen, in practice s/he is chosen by Aldermen from amongst themselves. 27 London Boroughs have a mayor (City of Westminster a Lord mayor) chosen by councillors from amongst themselves. ~~~ CPG Grey is a bit of fun, not a documentary.
