Who would make the best Mayor of London?

[DimPrawn]

WE DON'T NEED A MAYOR.
We didn't have one for hundreds of years (except the Lord Mayor) and we've managed perfectly well. NewLie has introduced another tier of Gov't with huge associated costs (which are born by the local taxpayers) and duplication of authority previousy with the local councils.
Add the appetite for ever increasing taxation/regulation.
Cue in congestion charge, increased parking fines etc etc

I think there should be a Deputy Mayor of London and a Dept of the Deputy Mayor of London office.

[Dow Jones]

I think

Emporer Nero
Aleister Crowley
Karl Hapsburg
Bill Gates
George Soros
Prince Philip

Good job I didnt vote I suppose :-)

Nero would bulldoze the West End, and replace it with a marble and gold palace 50 times the size of Buck house, with Hyde Park as his back garden.

And when it was complete he'd walk into the atrium, the size of St Pauls, and say "Now at last I can start living like a human being!"

Eddie Izzard.

We'd all walk around wearing women's dresses while being chased by herds of wildebeests down Oxford Street.

If you could pick any person, living or dead, who could really sort out London and turn it from the biggest tulipe hole in the world to somewhere worth living in?
