Posted April 27, 2008 So it's the London Mayoral election on thursday, hope you Londoners who are old enough to vote are going to do so! Don't forget that you're second choice is just as important as your first choice as if the first choice does not win by more than 50% then second choices are added!! The candidates are: Richard Barnbrook British National Party Gerard Batten UK Independence Party Siân Berry Green Party Alan Craig Christian Peoples Alliance and Christian Party Lindsey German Left List Boris Johnson Conservative Party Ken Livingstone The Labour Party Winston McKenzie Independent Matt O'Connor (pulled out) English Democrats Brian Paddick Liberal Democrats to read more about each candidate go here: http://www.londonelects.org.uk/info_for_candidates/the_mayoral_address_booklet.aspx'>http://www.londonelects.org.uk/info_for_candidates/the_mayoral_address_booklet.aspx Perosnally I have had enough of Ken Livingstone. He thinks all Londoners are made of money by hiking up the prices of everything especially transport that does not reflect fairly on inflation. He has also started to cut the funding of local theatre groups and sports schemes to pay for the sodding olympics. One of which is the London Bubble which has been around years and who my girlfriend has worked for. It's a sad day when a company that has been around since the 80's that a lot of people love has to shut cos they can't afford to stay open due to a 90% cut in funding!!! A lot of people DO NOT want the olympics either. I just feel London needs a change and at the moment that buffling fool Boris is winning my vote. A lot of the stuff he says is making sense to me on crime, transport and giving us back more for our taxes and to be honest he can't do any worse than livingstone! Boris is also gonna get rid of those ridiculous bendy buses that are a joke on london streets. As for second choice I just don't know. Defo NOT livingstone for fear of him winning again. We also have to vote for the london Assembley and your local borough member too which are just as important.

Posted April 27, 2008 I really can't decide. I'm inclined to vote UK Independence Company, but it's unlikely they'll win. Other than that, its between Boris and Ken. But Boris is a rascist, posh faggot and Livingtone is just a general prick who wants to extend the Congestion Charge to my area. Democracy sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2008 If I could vote it'd probably be Boris purely because he's hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2008 Winston McKenzie has the best name. He should win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2008 I really can't decide. I'm inclined to vote UK Independence Company, but it's unlikely they'll win. And they're a bunch of deranged frothing idiots who inhabit a word with only a vague relation to reality. I'd vote for good old Red Ken if I lived down there, but I don't so I won't.

Posted April 27, 2008 I completely agree with Twozzock. Borris '"Ever slept with another man?" "...Not...yet"' Johnson ftw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2008 I'm laughing. I love Sian Berry. Could be an RPG character. Boris ftw/Sian ftw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2008 I'm rooting for Boris Johnstone although obviously I have no say in it. The stuff he's saying is (mostly) good and will benefit the city. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2008 Johnson is MASSIVE FUCKING ****! How many times does he have to be a scandal prone, racist, toffy nosed tory shitbag for people to get past his foppish fringe and stop posting 'LOL LEGREND!' everywhere. He's a tory! that's like carrying a 'I'm in league with Belezebub' card around like a bus pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a tory! that's like carrying a 'I'm in league with Belezebub' card around like a bus pass. It's the same with Labour and Conservatives in the general elections. How shit do they have to be before people stop voting them in? You can't even go on the policies that they propose anymore because you can't even trust that they will stick to their word. At the last general election the only parties my parents could vote for were Labour and Conservative. Hardly democratic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 27, 2008 What about the other candidates? A lot of their policies I do not agree with. Boris on the other hand I do agree with. If he carries out the things he is saying or not is another question but im willing to take that risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 27, 2008 Try £3.40 here >_> Although I'm not the most informed, I still think Ken Livingstone, although a dickhead, is the best choice. And his congestion charge idea does make sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
