    Where are the Greens, UKIP, English Democrats and the God Squad?

    On the other side of the ballot paper.

      Not as bad

      Boris should do less debates/interviews/etc as he's overdoing it atm. He's trying to be all things to all people as opposed to saying what he truly believes. Even so, he is much less of a cynic than Ken - who has some good points - a power-crazy egomaniac crony-festering dictator much like Mugabe, who doesn't give up.
      As most pointed out, there is a 2nd choice mayor which you can use - also there is an extra ballot that you can use for a small party, so that they get 5% and get a voice on the London assembly, like UKIP, Respect, BNP, or whoever takes your fancy.

On the other hand I've never really had a problem with Ken, his frank admission that he went for the Olympics not for 3 weeks worth of sport but for the money is fair enough. I really hope for the sake of London Boris doesnt get in.

        The gay copper comes across very well though, I think its gay copper, Ken then the independent bloke who used to be a boxer
        I do like Boris but there's no way I would vote for him to sit on a parish council, never mind in Parliament or as boss of a major city. He comes across as a bumbling idiot.
        Admittedly you'd know he was a bumbling idiot rather than just suspect the rest of them being idiots but there's no way I'd have the likes of him running things.
        Trouble is, although Ken is a likeable enough person, I don't think that he is good at running things for the residents of the city. While he may run the city for the benefit of an ephemeral concept of "The City", what he does is not much to the benefit of residents as a whole, but then I suppose that may be true of every town,city and borough council and probably the government as a whole.

        So who do you choose?....the most probable choice will be to stick with who you know on the theory that at least you have a fair idea what to expect, sadly this means Ken.
        It's Deja-vu all over again!

          Interesting mayoral debate:

          http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fKRJVBqvd04
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            I'd say more, but last time I did that Xeno nearly unplugged me from the matrix.

                As I don’t live in London or ‘oop neuorth’ I’d vote for Ken… you deserve him.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
