Local Election Results

lol - always a good selling point!

I was very wary of voting for people such as UKIP and BNP - they're just too right wing, and I'm far too much of a liberal for that. They say they have fair policies but I think it would be very dangerous and the quality of life of a lot of decent men & women would suffer as a result.

That's generally my viewpoint on parties like that.

Tough one to vote on for me. Didn't really like any of the parties despite reading up as much as possible on the off chance, one of them sounded alright.

I don't agree with that logic I'm afraid. Whatever you might think of KL, would you rather he was replaced by a chimp?

Did anyone else hear his comments on The Politics Show?

I'm down with the ethnics, you can't out ethnic me!

Granted he's funny, but just voting for him because "He isn't Ken" is a bit of a logical fallacy if you ask me.

I think he uses his humour and buffoonery to his advantage. He is no different really to the guy in work that is sensible but has a bit of a laugh about it. I think that if politics was more like Boris and William Hague and less like Gordon Brown and Geoff Hoon then it would be an awful lot better.

Hell, Charles Kennedy was more of a real man than 99% of the political spectrum, despite his problems.

Ken Livingstone. You are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.

1st + 2nd preference

But whenever you see him interviewed, he's a complete idiot with a fundemental lack of knowledge about politics. Unfortunately I don't think there is a sensible person underneath

Agree with that totally. CK was aces

[Will]

Thank **** for that. Ken's out. This can only be a good thing. I couldn't stand that mini nazi, left wing, communist dictator - heck he was almost an oppressor.

If i had my choice we'd get rid of the london mayor all together - we have the lord mayor already, we have the GLA & GLC we don't need a mayor at all.

Anyway it's going to take a couple of years to see Borris' handy work anyway, London is no worse off. Surprised how close the votes were though!

[Feek]

Good luck London, you're going to need it. I'm glad I don't live there any more.

we've gone lib dem i hear - what a waste of time
