Boris is an idiot and I really hope he doesn't win. A lot of people like him because he's a bit funny and they will vote for him and not really know what he stands for / stood for in the past.
I'm voting Ken with Brian as a second choice. Luckily a lot of the idiots who say they are gonna vote for Boris just because he's a bit of a comedian won't have registered to vote, or won't bother to vote on the day.

I've just done that test and I'm quite shocked. I agreed with the BNP and Ken the most. This worries me.

Apparently so. Oh well. I've never liked those whities.

Paddick, Berry then Livingstone. Apparently, according to the New Statesman.

My Dad and I had a good laugh over the BNP leaflet, it showed Britain as a V.E day celebration in sepia, and current Britain as an Islam extremist and it had a Jewish woman bringing up her faith for no reason, 'as a Jewish woman I am committed to recycling'

"As a Scorpio I am committed to tackling youth knife crime"

Apparently Boris is the bookies favourite. How strange.

Winston McKenzie's website really needs some work. It is all under construction still. I don't think he has realised the election is actually next week.

For some reason they have been denied chairs. Perhaps this is an endurance test, and it is literally the last man standing.

Brian Paddick, fifty years old today...he is one hot son of a bitch. He seems completely humourless though which is a let down - his lovely skin tone makes up for it though.
I think I would cast my imaginary vote for Ken Livingstone - if he was your uncle, he'd be perfect.

I'm all for democracy but just this once can we not just give it to Ken?

Brian Paddick was awful in the debate situation. He's just chip in asides every so often.
I think I may go for Livingstone

I think Ken's difficulties stem from having been in for two terms already and from representing an unpopular national government, but I'm still always shocked by the amount of people who actually think BJ is a credible mayoral candidate. Heck if you hate the Government fine but vote Tory in the constituency vote, not the mayoral!
I was contemplating a 1. Paddick, 2. Ken vote but Paddick's comments on Ken have verged on the deranged and his assertion that BJ is basically harmless (a tacit endorsement given his vehemence on Ken) has convinced me to vote otherwise, probably 1. Ken, 2. Green.

There are various testimonies from BNP voters that all start with an implicit "I'm not a racist, but..." My favourite was the bloke who said he believed that "we should celebrate Christian festivals like St. George's Day and St. Patrick's Day, not Eid or Ramadan". Leaving aside the minefield that is the assertion that everyone in London apparently ought to be a Christian, I have to say I wasn't aware that anyone was being forced to celebrate Eid or Ramadan against their will.

The Walnut Whip! women on Question Time is the most hateful person I've seen on television for a while. Really, really hateful.
Ken answered the questions with a total candidness and humour that you never see in any politician. Even during the charges of anti-semitism he came across well, although it helped that the student type asking the questions was marginally less hateful than Walnut Whip! woman. 8/10 for Ken.
In contrast, Brian was pompous and lacking in charisma, and while I laughed when he told Boris to shut up, he didn't help himself when he constantly interrupted the others either. And his accusations that Ken was nakedly trying to steal the Lib Dem vote, only for Ken to agree that that was exactly what he was doing was priceless. But he's still hot and for that he gets an extra point. 4/10.
Boris managed to answer few questions in an straightforward manner and looked incredibly uncomfortable at times. Dreadful answers and dreadfully insincere and he looked just inadequate really, even compared to Brian. 3/10.
It worries me that London might not do the right thing.

I also like the fact that St George's and St Patrick's are cited as 'Christian festivals' rather than excuses for a piss-up. Surely more appropriately Christian festivals would include, you know, Christmas and Easter?

The manifesto leaflet is a priceless artefact of people being more stupid than you would ever think possible.
I can't decide if my favourite is the 'Christian' party candidate whose policies include hating mosques and being for 'family values (This being despite the fact that his clearly second wife is about 25 years his junior) or the student advocating for the BNP who doesn't let the fact that she's an Irish national get in the way of her complaining about all 'those foreigners' coming over here and taking 'our jobs'.

Also one of the BNP policies is the reunification of the UK and Ireland.

After some exhaustive research by me and Sparkle we have uncovered that English Democrat candidate Matt O'Connor is the guy behind Fatehrs4Justice. So we know that he hates the Scots and women at least.
I kind of hope he wins, so we can experience his idiosyncratic fascist state first hand.

Except for Boris, who just pisses me off, with his "London is a great city to live in" spiel. YOU DON'T FUCKING LIVE IN LONDON, you cock. Cherubic and I have done some excellent political research, although he won't let me post some of it because he fears a BNP invasion of lowculture.

Not to pour water on your fine political research, but Fathers4Justice man has apparently pulled out after having a row with the party he was going to represent.
Perhaps they weren't prepared to give him a superhero costume?
