Boris was my MP before I moved. Never had a problem with him. Yeah, sometimes he comes across as a buffoon but Red Ken is a coont - end of...

To paraphrase - I wouldn't trust Boris to operate a mop. I wouldn't trust Boris to run Trumpton. I wouldn't trust Boris to help me cross the road. I wouldn't trust him to run me a bath. etc etc. Maybe in the home coutnies, maybe a minor cabinet post - but not a major financial capital, multicultural city etc etc.

Ken said the biggest thing Boris had over organised was a staff lunch at The Spectator. Mathew Parris said in The Times that that was ridiculous: his secretary would have organised it. I suspect Boris would have been having a good day if he remembered to go to it.

I will be voting for Boris. So will the two scaffolders who where working outside my window the day he announced he was running.

Hopefully Cameron will put in suitable people to actually job, and Boris will go back to being funny, once the dangers of humour while campaigning are behind him.

I've an instinctive dislike of Ken, yet in terms of delivery I'd have to give him 9 out of 10 for the congestion charge alone. (I would have given him 10 if he'd done better on some minor details and not tried to narrow the roads and lengthen red lights.)

having watched the debate I'm still unconvinced by boris. I don't think that will matter however as I think he's going to win anyway....

Personally I don't really mind what ken's done for London, but want to stick fingers up at Gordon during these elections... but it does seem like cutting off nose to spite face.

Tricky...and still undecided.

Oh stunning !

So he siphons off votes which could have gone to a Ken-Contender who did have the willpower to stay the course, thus letting Ken win by default !

Bravo that man !

Anyone smell a conspiracy ?

BTW Matt O'Connor has pulled out. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7366662.stm

I've voted already.

I've not voted for Boris as seeing him in debates confirmed he is an idiot and having him represent London on the international stage makes me shudder.

Aye MM and that speaks volumes in itself...

Since the City is about business first, why don't we have a proper businessman like Sir Alan Sugar as Mayor ?

That would be nice, unfortunately most successful business people make the decision to stay well out of politics.
