I'll give him a chance first, but I think it's a sad day for politics if people voted for personality over policy.

Cameron is, allegedly, somewhat concerned that Boris might lose the next election, and in the same breath as I heard that I also heard that London will be the proving ground for tory policy. Coincidence?

Yes. Unfortunately that's an inevitable side-effect of having such high profile mayors in the first place.

I think you'll find that Londoners are just fed up with a Labour communist - "Red Ken" - as the leader of their great city, someone who was prone to making friends with Left-Wing dictators such as Hugo Chavez, someone who invited Islamist terror leaders to the capital such as the homophobic, anti women's rights Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, and someone who believes in the human rights of people from every nation except England.
Livingstone is also rabidly anti-Semitic.
He was publicly criticised in February 2005 for remarks made to an Evening Standard reporter, comparing him to a Nazi concentration camp guard after the reporter had tried to interview him following a reception marking the 20th anniversary of Chris Smith's coming out as gay. The reporter, Oliver Finegold, was in fact Jewish.
I think it's good to see this eejit out of office. Boris will be a breath of fresh air.

I almost agree with you, Blackleaf. Ken was a conniving sleazeball - even the Olympic bid was a political plaything to get extra cash from Whitehall - and his sympathy for al-Qaradawi I found utterly distasteful. I'm glad he's out of office.
But is London maybe out of the frying pan, but in the fire?

For a so-called Left-Wing dictator such as Chavez I would rather live in an independent socialist republic of Scotland with someone like him in charge and without fuel poverty than the dictates of Westminster and Whitehall.
Perhaps you back Boris because The Scum newspaper backed him?
