Who will you vote for as Mayor?

Boris Johnson loves playing American-style politics. I won't vote for him, that's a definite. He basically slings poo at Ken Livingstone whenever he gets a chance and makes promises to fix practically *everything* that people could have problems with when it comes to Livingstone. Sounds like a typical US election, if you ask me. Boris pretty much tries to score points with those whom are more focused on private transportation than public transportation. Certainly, he's addressed bringing back the old Routemasters and killing off the "bendy" buses (Articulated Buses) - but that's pretty much his main concerns are when it comes to public transportation.

Like most other people, I see Boris Johnson as a joke to the office of Mayor for London. Ken Livingstone has made his fair share of mistakes, but you have to admit he's had some balls to handle some of the crap he's been put through. He's always willing to see organizations and people who feel that they have a genuine concern over a particular aspect to their locale; which, I doubt highly Johnson will actually be able to keep to due to his "minuscule mentality". All he can really do is throw out insults without actually backing much up about Ken Livingstone. The £6 million that he moaned about in TheLondonPaper recently is just a jest, at best. I definitely would *not* want to see how he would handle the budget that Ken has to manage. People getting their knickers in a bundle over Ken going to a foreign country to experience some of their culture are probably as simple-minded as Boris himself. =/

Boris would have to give me a month of his salary to even consider voting for him £300,000~ - let alone *actually* voting for him when election time comes.
