Vote Ken for ridiculous anti car / bike measures that do nothing, and if you like racist womanising communists

Vote Boris for bikes in bus lanes and a general bit of madness in politics

:cool:

[Alpinestarhero]

Boris! Boris! Boris!

He's crazy, but he may just work

[Stu]

Yeah Boris for bikes, but probably Paddock (Stand) would be best for London :scratch:

[Sudoxe]

Voted at 07:10 this morning.

Paddock wont get in because he bats for the wrong team (the Lib Dems)

I think Boris might stand a chance.

Either way, as long as Ken doesn't get back in its all good.

You just know that the 'I always vote Labour' and non-voters will let Ken slip back in with a minuscule mandate. I don't envy you guys.

It's a terrible thing, but most likely true...:(

[krhall]

I'd love to see Boris get in - he's plain mental and KEn's voice drives me absolutely f'ing potty.

Monotone twonk!

[injury_ian]

I'd vote Boris, but being in surrey, i don't get a choice, Anyone not voting? vote Boris for me :)

[Sosha]

I want Paddick to get it....think he's probably the best man for the job. I don't want Ken again... Boris (thankfully) won't last more than a term....

Paddicks campaign up until the last run has been rubbish though.

Can't help wondering if Mayoral candidates should all run as independents

[Sosha]

How about option 3 - scrap the whole thing - no mayor - anyone?

[Flamin_Squirrel]

Paddicks campaign up until the last run has been rubbish though.

It certainly has. Other than hearing him speak ohhhh, all of one line, saying he'd cut crime (just like the other two main players, funnily enough) I know nothing about his plans.

But he's a Liberal. Not only a liberal, but an ex policeman. So, no doubt sees us as either (potential) criminals, or gainfully employed and therefore ripe for being taxed to death. I don't like either of those options.

I'm reminded of Brewster's millions, when he runs for mayor of new york with the "vote none of the above" campaign...

I like Borris as a character, I'm a little worried about him actually being in charge of the largest city in the country. That said Ken's insane, and I know I disagree with him....:smt100

Unfortunatly at this point it's a 2 horse race...

From what I've seen of the campaign from over out west in the "ooh-arrr" regions, Ken at least does appear to have campaigned on policy rather than personality, Boris seems to have exclusively run on "personality", and his personality appears to be to shake his foppish hair and say "oops! crikey!" in a "Tim, nice but dim" kind of way; it's apparently working for him...

Along with the odd smear or Gosh did the money really come from there etc

Well indeed, though the Evening Standard appear to have been running a full scale smear campaign all of their very own on Boris' behalf so I guess both sides are fond of the odd bit of dirty politics :D

Well there isn't much point in Ken campaigning on policy - he's been in the job for 8 years so it's a bit late for saying what he will or won't do..

Bendy buses and a congestion charge that, laughably for a Labour politician, punishes everyone except the rich seem to be his main marks on the capital, neither of which I agree with.

[Sosha]

they both suck.

that is all
