mold. damn. The rot is already setting in.

Izzywhizzy · 02/05/2008 16:23

It's bound to go to second preference votes, so we won;t know for sure until quite late tonight.

NotQuiteCockney · 02/05/2008 16:58

Ok, I'm really head-in-the-sand about this (yes, I voted), but is Boris really talking about getting rid of the congestion charge? Could he do that?

staranise · 02/05/2008 18:09

Deeply deeply depressed. When I heard he would be the Tory candidate, I actually laughed and thought they'd really shot themselves in the foot this time...

Cannot believe that anyone would seriously think that overgrown schoolboy could actually run our amazing, complex, multi-cultural, high-profile city of London.

I will be joining the queues marching out of London...

God, at least he'll get rid of sodding K:L's zillions of quangos

I have reservations about democracy which are, I fear, about to be rather spectacularly confirmed.

We will be governed by a children's entertainer.

It's so depressing. And apparently there will be a BNP member on the assembly. It's as bad as bad can be.

staranise · 02/05/2008 18:55

Who are these people who voted for him? My friend's mother (v elderly) put him down as 2nd choice by mistake, because she didn't understand how the system works...maybe it's all been one big mistake?!

Is the result definite now?

southeastastra · 02/05/2008 18:57

policywonk · 02/05/2008 19:06

mourningpaper · 02/05/2008 19:09

LittleMyDancing · 02/05/2008 19:11

PerkinWarbeck · 02/05/2008 19:11

mourningpaper · 02/05/2008 19:13

mourningpaper · 02/05/2008 19:13

MN has a lot of families, who recognise that they are better off under a Labour government

Also people who like the idea of children being brought out of poverty, and disabled people being given equal rights, and mad revolutionary ideals like that

Callisto · 02/05/2008 19:31

You're not wrong on either count Smallwhitecat.
