Boris or Ken?
 
I know the London Mayoral election doesn't affect us much except that the winner of the election is the ambassador for our capital city.

So if you were in London who would you vote for and why?

Neither of them, i'd abstain from voting, Boris reminds me of a baby for some reason, he should be walking around in a huge nappy, he gives me the creeps

I did vote for Ken when I lived in London, though I really don't know if I would now, as he seems more than a little jaded..

Bumbling Boris is likable enough, but I don't really see him as a figure head for one of the world's most important metropolises.

Paddick would probably do a good job, but hasn't a hope of winning.

Personally I think either of them would make a bad President for when we ( HOPEFULLY ) give London independence from the UK :D

I think most Londoners will probably feel the same and it will almost be a case of voting for the least offensive rather than the best man for the job.

Of the two I would have to opt for Ken Livingstone.

Re: Boris or Ken?
 
I think Boris' policies are the best for London as I see it from an outsider. I guess the people who actually live there know better though so Thursday will tell all!

Is this based on policy or that Boris is quite funny on certain Political tv game shows?

Thats not a very good description of Ken Livingston....Eric the Red yes...not too long ago he was persona non grata....as was that well known waister,now European representative Mendelson.
Boris Johnson is a very clever man and does not need to justify his place in society...ok he went off the rails....but so did Livingston.
The other fellow is an also ran....Put your money where your mouth is..I will bet you a fiver the Boris takes London......Yes or no :confused:

Bumbling Boris is a card.

In a desperate appeal to the ethnic voters he claims to actually be one, a while after labelling African children as "piccaninnies".


Boris Johnson claims he's from ethnic minority - Mirror.co.uk

That is a good enough reason to vote for Boris :D

At least you can tell he is still alive.

Haha got to love the mirrors spin, it's a good read, though not if you want facts. :p

Well it wont surprise anyone on here that I'd vote for Boris, but then Boris has always been within the Tory Party, unlike Ken at the first mayoral election when Labour had an anyone but Ken attitude, he was about as popular as a bad smell in a space suit with Blair and company, then when he won he was the best thing since sliced bread, two faced or what, hey but thats Labour for you

I am in london and tomorrow morning I shall vote. Just consider yourself very lucky in Hyndburn - you can choose between a council led by Britcliffe or Jones. I have got a choice of a conman, a clown and a bloke whose manifesto amounts to no more than tripling the number of mens' public toilets in the capital. Any suggestions, anyone?

That depends on whether you want your pockets picked...being entertained...or..a meditation chamber?
Good Luck ;)
