Good choice. Speaking as a Lib Dem supporter, the idea of Boris Johnson as London’s Mayor is too much to bear. For good or for evil - and assuming Brian doesn’t win - it’s got to be Ken.

Being able to compare London and its development over the past 20 years regularly with other European cities, I have to give my first vote to Ken and my second to the less experienced Brian Paddick. I agree with most what you are saying, but I think overall, and in the context of the given constraint of the largest European Metropolis, Ken established a good balance between the local, European, and global needs of probably one of the most diverse, high-cultured urban spaces on this globe.

Yes I have to agree with that. Often Lib Dems are accused of favouring Labour over the Tories but for me Boris’s display on QT last night was woeful. Waffly, vague and as an audience member said amateurish. The only time I liked the man was on the rare occasions he allowed his wit to flourish but then it’s a mayor we’re voting for, not a comedian. I could see myself voting for certain Tories as a second preference ahead of Ken but Boris ain’t one of them.
