Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: Rooney on April 07, 2012, 08:37:20 PM How can you not vote for Boris Johnson? He's like a TV star and stuff.
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: Oakvale on April 07, 2012, 08:42:55 PM I'm not all that well informed about the electio other than the fact that Livingstone and Johnson are both HPs. Uh, the independent - Benita - seems okay, although she obviously can't win. Paddick, maybe?
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: Filuwaúrdjan on April 07, 2012, 08:46:07 PM Ike Hayward?
Of course if I were a Londoner (a fate I never intend to suffer, naturally) I'd vote for Livingstone, but wouldn't be entirely happy about doing so. Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: TNF on April 08, 2012, 10:07:31 PM Liberal Democrat. Livingstone is a Chavez apologist.
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: World politics is up Schmitt creek on April 08, 2012, 11:59:24 PM Liberal Democrat. Livingstone is a Chavez apologist. The Liberal Democrat is a Liberal Democrat. Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: Leftbehind on April 09, 2012, 05:36:21 AM ...and a Conservative apologist. Livingstone.
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: afleitch on April 09, 2012, 05:37:24 AM A clown over a crook; so Boris.
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: Phony Moderate on April 09, 2012, 08:04:17 AM A clown over a crook; so Boris. So you would have voted for Le Pen in 2002? ;) Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: Franzl on April 09, 2012, 08:10:52 AM Boris
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: © tweed on April 09, 2012, 10:35:57 AM Red Ken
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: Kevin on April 09, 2012, 11:33:59 AM Johnson(Sane choice)
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: Phony Moderate on April 09, 2012, 12:24:27 PM Anyway, I'd vote for Jones, with Livingstone as my second preference. A pretty terrible group of candidates on the whole though.
Johnson(Sane choice) FYI, the former Shadow Chancellor was not chosen to be Labour's candidate. Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: RIP Robert H Bork on April 09, 2012, 01:53:24 PM They're probably all terrible.
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: Franzl on April 09, 2012, 02:23:13 PM They're probably all terrible. Let me guess: Because they're all evil pro-choicers? Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: I'm JewCon in name only. on April 09, 2012, 04:53:52 PM Boris.
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: freefair on April 19, 2012, 12:10:39 PM Boris
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: RogueBeaver on April 19, 2012, 12:12:08 PM Boris
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: k-onmmunist on April 19, 2012, 04:43:18 PM Given how much I loathe that reactionary twerp Boris, I'm going to go with Ken.
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: MASHED POTATOES. VOTE! on April 19, 2012, 06:29:04 PM They're probably all terrible. Let me guess: Because they're all evil pro-choicers? Or because officepark never heard of them before? Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese on April 19, 2012, 07:47:16 PM Boris
Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: RedPrometheus on April 25, 2012, 07:30:08 AM Ken.
But if I was active in London's Labour I would work hard to have somebody else nominated next time. Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: You kip if you want to... on April 26, 2012, 05:23:22 PM Liberal Democrat. Livingstone is a Chavez apologist. So you choose the LibDem in place of a left-wing candidate... okay, bit've a swing, but okay... Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: TheDeadFlagBlues on April 26, 2012, 05:24:35 PM 1st Round: Jenny Jones
Runoff: Ken Livingstone Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: Simfan34 on April 26, 2012, 05:42:23 PM Boris.
Doesn't a Uruguayan go against the whole idea of the BNP? Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: TheDeadFlagBlues on April 26, 2012, 05:51:41 PM Boris. Doesn't a Uruguayan go against the whole idea of the BNP? The southern cone of Latin America is treated very favorably by "white nationalists" in Europe. Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: Filuwaúrdjan on April 26, 2012, 06:28:46 PM What's much more amusing about that particular candidate is that he's a Falklands Vet. Who fought for Argentina.

Who fought for Argentina. I didn't know this. Most amusing factoid about a candidate i've read in a while. I can see it now: "RESPECT OUR TROOPS! ah, uh... hang on."

Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: freefair on April 27, 2012, 01:40:07 AM I don't know how anyone who calls themselves a "liberal moderate", or "center left" could reasonably prefer Ken, even in the 2nd round. He is as far left wing as you can get before you fall off the democratic part of the political spectrum. Boris has progressive views on Migration and is a civil libertarian who regrets Iraq. He also has an half-Iranian wife which should go some way to disproving the allegations of racism he has had to put up with.

Wow....as I'm typing this, the results of the Tory leadership election are in....Thatcher - 204, Heseltine - 152....not enough for Thatcher to win outright!

Will we win in 3 years time? I think we have a strong chance, given that there are 3 years to go. A bad month is a bad month.

Title: Re: London: Preferred Mayor Post by: You kip if you want to... on May 03, 2012, 10:41:52 AM BUMP.
