You can't seriously want Boris Jon?

He wants to waste a fortune getting rid of a whole fleet of brand new busses to bring back the routemasters!

Gordon Brown must have everything crossed and praying morning, noon and night for Boris to win. It'd be a godsend for Labour.:)

well, that's the gist of the old saying I guess, still it's got to be disastrous for the city. What'll be next? Ken Dodd for Liverpool mayor.... Gazza for Newcastle?

Now youre talking bigc!!:D I know what youre saying though...it should be so interesting...this could be a nightmare for Cameron...if he does really bad and cocks-up as he has done for so long as an MP....it could be great for Brown in the long run....maybe??? Though he wont think so today after the brutal kicking they have had eh! :rolleyes:

I bet the other members of the Bullingdon club can hardly believe its Johnson that has got into power first!

Should be good to see how he gets on if only to give an indication how his drinking buddies might fare if they get into power in a couple of years time.

Great day here, BNP lost two seats locally, hopefully soon be rid of those nasty nutters and Harlow 'next door' finally Conservative again.

I think I might come out of the political wilderness at this rate and join up again! ( Well, maybe :yikes:)

Now the hard bit comes for Boris. This is the first test for the Eton mob, i fully expect Labour to feed on any mistakes he makes, and he will make them, and then say thats what happens when you put in a toff with no experience of running things.

For all his faults Livingstone lived London. He is a career politician. Johnson is a clown albeit an educated one. I honestly think he will be a disaster as Mayor and the Conservatives may well wish they had put a serious candidate forward for an election they should have been confident of winning. I think they chose Johnson as they have no policies so just went for personality. Will people tire of a floppy haired clown?

We'll see TH, the Liberal media like the Gurniad, Independent and BBC are chomping at the bit to slaughter him first opportunity they get. In fact they have been doing it for months anyway....

I aint got nothing against him, he is a bit of a twit but he has won the election so good luck to him. It was good for democracy that so many Londoners voted.

Everyone knows that been in power is harder than been in opposition. I just dont think he is a career politician and will find it incredibly tedious. That will lead to mistakes and also falsely high expectations of change. Will he really have the will to change London so much, did Ken really make such a mess of London anyhow?

Ive took a fleeting interest in the campaign but obviously im not in London so we dont get so much coverage. He did not seem to be saying anything major was going to change though.

Is he abolishing the congestion Charge for example? How is he going to deal with the tube?

Is he going to be Boris Johnson london Mayor or Camerons puppet? He seems to have spent the campaign been the latter. Will he be able to do that for four years? I dont think he is disciplined enough.

I think he's going to campaign to get it back on channel 4 on Friday nights because Paula Yates was damn fine totty and that Jools chappy was snortingly witty....:thumbs
