I’ll vote Conservative for the first time in my life. That should be telling enough.

There is no link to “Tories for Ken”…are there such people?

I am wondering whether 10 weeks would be enough to shift the popular impression of Ken Livingstone in peoples heads. Those 10+% differences are significant, and the Johnson campaign will be well aware of the need to play on these as well, so it is not as if Mr Livingstone is going to be able to alter these without challenge.

Furthermore, it would require Mr Livingstone to show he had policies that could convince people of this – if he does not, he pushes more people to Mr Johnson. Are we sure that Mr Livingstone really does have policies that can convince enough people of this – he has policies, but are they appealing enough?

If the people of london are stupid enough to reelect the bankers friend then they deserve all they get.

I seem to recall KL was very keen on bankers (and developers) in his time!

How can Ken improve? He can stop cosying up to extremist scum like Qaradawi and Rahman, stop being an anti-Semite, and stop making homophobic remarks, That would be a start.

In the light of the biggest cycling debate in parliament today for 15 years, i’d be interested to know what you think of this campaign:

I’m afraid Ken’s moves to attract what is now feasibly called ‘the cyclist lobby’ have been pretty pathetic. Pledging free use of the Barclays hire bikes to all people with a Freedom Pass is a bit of a joke seeing as the majority of users are either rich central London dwelling professionals, out of town commuters or tourists.

Boris can hardly say to be doing any better, what with his ill advised comments that cycling safely in London just takes a bit of ‘common sense’ in the face of multiple cycle deaths this year and many many crap junctions, even after redesigns.

Maybe Boris and Ken should form a Mayoral Coalition !

If you want Ken to be elected you’re going to have to surpress the public awareness of his past record concerning Tower Hamlets, Quaradawi, and the LDA (to name a few). Thanks to the Evening Standard, many more than before know the real Ken.

The Mayoral elections remind me why I like living in the North West so much.

If the people of London are stupid enough to re-elect Lee Jasper’s friend then they deserve all they get. At least the banks provide a service and have made us rich.

sackcloth and ashes

In fairness, now George W. has defeated Islamism and it is dying as an ideology, it is no longer cool to suck up to Islamists. So the Guardian no longer regularly turns its editorial pages over to defenders of suicide bombing and so on. And I expect that Ken no longer feels much need to appeal to the Islamist demographic. The question is whether the London voters have forgiven and forgotten. I hope not.

Ahem.

What is so important (really) about this election?
Ken Livingstone is well past his sell by date. Boris doesn’t do that much for anoyone either as far as I can tell. It’s a really uninspiring choice.
Paddick is really annoying and attention seeking I find btw.

I thought Zoe Williams had some good points in the Guardian the other day.

This Coriolanus-style fight to be London’s mayor does nothing for politics
A vote for the London mayor could be between the true left and the true right.
But they’d rather squabble over our wallets

Yes, that sure does tell us a lot about your personality.

How can Ken improve? …stop being an anti-Semite
Ken Livingstone is not an anti-semite, you complete asshole.

Liberal Conspiracy, we go to Beijing Government to ask them about we stop the 8 Country rates dollars up: New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Oceania, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Western Asia, and then United States, China, Europe and Japan have a biggest fight to get all the money out from 10 and all Country: New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Oceania, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Western Asia, Central Asia, Africa and more Country into 4 Country: United States, China, Europe and Japan. So now Liberal Conspiracy, you can tell New York Government.
