Boris has made london a much cleaner place, he cares about London, and doesn't waste money on stupid projects.
He's got my vote.

Please dont go for who you ;like' or dont like'

Look at their policies, FGS. You can read, surely.

KatieMiddleton · 03/05/2012 16:13

I'm no Boris fan. SIL likes him but she's a bit ol' Tory.

ShirtyKnot · 03/05/2012 16:07

Meh, I think Boris will get it anyway TBH. The great CHILD, did you SEE him in those debates? I was cringing, it was like watching someone off The Apprentice!

KatieMiddleton · 03/05/2012 16:03

I'll draw a nice pair of boobs instead then ()()

We'll probably get Boris and Ken then. In some sort of unholy job-share arrangement!

ShirtyKnot · 03/05/2012 16:01

Oh noes Katie - at the last mayoral election I drew a great big spunking penis on my ballot paper - and look what we ended up with!

Yes, get dressed and vote for Siobhan!

She seems like she's got her head screwed on right and is not Boris or Ken or a racist. I read all the materials published by all the candidates - she is the only with an actual thought out manifesto and plans, rather than a few populist points on an A5 flyer.

KatieMiddleton · 03/05/2012 15:55

Oh well if it's raining..! WinkGrin

I will go out and vote. Even if it's just to spoil my ballot paper.

margoandjerry · 03/05/2012 15:48

Grin even as I posted that I thought - yeah, brave words, but you do know it's raining, don't you?

KatieMiddleton · 03/05/2012 15:46

I'm inclined to agree margo.

I'm even going to get dressed and go out and vote. In a bit...

margoandjerry · 03/05/2012 15:41

I'm voting for Siobhan on the basis that she's not Boris and she's not Ken. I'm probably a natural Ken voter but am dubious about his mates and his prediliction for chummying up to Chavez and other unwholesome types.

Also she's got education as her priority, not dick swinging which is what B and K have got.

KatieMiddleton · 03/05/2012 15:31

Interesting you only come out to play when there's an election Eloise... just sayin'

ironman · 03/05/2012 15:31

UKIP's not racist, but Ken is! He can't stand Jewish people and I don't know one who would vote for him. As a Marxist he can't stand Christians but is very in love with Islam. What a nutter. Ken is akin to George Galloway, both opportunist egoists.

UKIP's prospective mayoral candidate is married to a black woman and has two young children. To his credit he has not wheeled the wife her out to show his credentials.
Gerard Batten (immigration) has been married to the same Filipino woman for 20 years and has two teenage children. To his credit he does not wheel her out
either. Why should they?
Voidka you insist on calling UKIP racist with no basis.
Each to his own.

I like neither Boris or Ken, though B can be entertaining. However all the initiatives I like from Boris's tenure were Ken's ideas. We now need the ideas refreshed and Ken's good at getting clever people to come out with them.

I think the things some of the other candidates are saying are interesting. But they lack the ability to make things happen, the experience of getting others to create and deliver. Boris had to grow into the job, but still no new big ideas after all these years despite his cleverness.

Still prevaricating, late I know, but perhaps flip-flop is the way to go. Ken for some good ideas this time round, maybe Boris to entertain next time round... Also I think the country has become more divided and the well-proven way to say "remember to temper the way you use power in these fragile times" to the Government is to swing away from the party in power. That's me sorted, then. Maybe.

Tomorrow evening.

ajandjjmum · 03/05/2012 13:13

When will the results be announced?

Voidka · 03/05/2012 12:08

Oh yes vote for UKIP

With their pledges that they cant deliver on and barely veiled racism.

Brilliant!

slug · 03/05/2012 11:39

Really??? UKIP????

JosephineCD · 03/05/2012 11:31

I would vote for Boris if I lived in London. Ken is a dangerous man.

littleducks · 03/05/2012 10:45

I dont know who to vote for.....

Nothing really appeals

Nancy66 · 03/05/2012 10:37

Ken is a crook - i couldn't possibly vote for him.

Paddick is a bit thick

so will be Boris for me

southeastastra · 02/05/2012 21:55

he's such an embarassing figure, not good as a figurehead for london, best kept to the publicity department when they want someone a bit loopy to represent something in london, like a massive space hop across the wobbly bridge, nothing more taxing

Stokey38 · 02/05/2012 21:52

And let's not forget how Boris didn't even think the riots in Tottenham important enough for him to fly back from his holiday. He does real Londoners no favours. The increase in travel is shocking and I doubt he has ever even ventured outside of Zone 3!

pinguwings · 02/05/2012 21:51

No.

He wasn't talking about the interviewer.
