I have warmed to Boris and cooled towards Ken personally.

What do people think about Brian Paddick? Neither Boris nor Ken seems like an appealing option.

thestringcheesemassacre · 04/03/2012 09:20

Red Ken all the way.

Boris is an embarrassment.

londonmackem · 04/03/2012 09:17

Has to be Boris.

TotemPole · 03/03/2012 22:48

I'm on the fence. I've been thinking about this today as I got the application for voting by post.

Ken did a lot for improving London transport. The Oyster Card is brilliant for keeping your travel costs as low as possible. Also, the OC plus prepay buses for the centre has simplified bus travel.

Ken the tax avoider? And he's the one who criticises tax avoiders! Do as I say not as I do

I really wish Labour had put someone else up

alicethehorse · 03/03/2012 01:06

Definitely want Ken back!

Can't stand Boris.

Solo · 03/03/2012 00:33

I recall Ken's 'if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down' thing when he was in and the one about 'getting wet under the shower, turning it off, soaping up and then washing off with the shower'. Wonder if he really did those things too Hmm, I rather doubt it...and it usually takes a while to get the temp back to the right one, so you'd not really be saving any water IMO.

Mad, just mad!!

EverybodysSnowyEyed · 02/03/2012 22:34

I can't stand Ken - he'll do anything to be in power and was responsible for a lot of price rises. He is a 'do as i say, not as i do' type

I also can't stand Boris but don't hate him as much.

So rock and a hard place

I really wish Labour had put someone different and fresh up or there was a credible independent

crazynanna · 02/03/2012 22:30

Ken

LottieProsser · 02/03/2012 22:24

Have met both and much prefer Ken but if Boris doesn't get in there's a serious risk he will try to be Prime Minister!

jumpingjackhash · 02/03/2012 18:25

OK, I'll give you that tethersend!

Abra1d · 02/03/2012 18:24

Keep Boris.

tethersend · 02/03/2012 18:22

Boris is no idiot.

It takes a shrewd and cunning man to get to such a position of power whilst appearing to be a passive buffoon.

jumpingjackhash · 02/03/2012 18:14

Boris. He's an idiot, but at least he's straight-forward in his idiocy and makes sense.

Plus I don't trust Ken to deliver on the promises he's making now - there's no way he can afford to do most of it, it just doesn't add up.

I want someone who will make my life better / easier, Boris kind of does that, Ken just won't.

DebbieD78 · 02/03/2012 18:12

I would vote for Boris, Ken is a nasty piece of work.

Keep Boris the baffoon!! I can't stand Ken; he'd put everything up again!

Snusmumriken · 02/03/2012 18:05

Ken!

Ryoko · 02/03/2012 18:04

Belated I know, should have proof read earlier but I meant they shouldN'T be allowed to stand if they are members of political parties.

MissBetsyTrotwood · 02/03/2012 18:02

Ken. Though I go a bit weak at the knees with delight whenever I see one of those beautiful new routemaster buses. I know they've probably cost millions but I don't care. Something that right just can't be wrong.

SardineQueen · 02/03/2012 17:59

I thought the bikes were an idea while Ken was in office and while the whole plan was being worked through the administration changed?

Puffykins · 02/03/2012 17:56

Boris. I like his bikes, and the fact that he got rid of those awful bendy buses.

SardineQueen · 02/03/2012 17:53

I'll be voting for Ken.

AmberLeaf · 02/03/2012 17:51

Ken.

vixsatis · 02/03/2012 17:44

Boris- likely to spend less money
