well am well pissed off - but that's the wonderful thing about democracy !

was very tight 100k votes - i just do not see boris as a serious politician (how long can he keep it in his pants?)!

am desperately sad for ken livingstone - he has been a great public servant and has ensured that london is the world's city (imo) and ensured we won the olympics - good luck for the future ken and also good luck boris (he chokes!)!

Would Sir Ken be asking too much?

The lunatic is runing the asylum. Just as you lot over the pond get rid of Dubbya we (and when I say we I mean 'they') go one worse and elect Bojo. God help us all!

Yes the second victim of the London 2012 Olympics RED KEN. The first was the TRUTH and last will be the generations that have a huge debt to pay off that cannot be summed up in total at this time. Goes to show that the UK really has a problem with realities until the Tories come to power.

Yes the Tories will come to power and some good old Maggie style politics will be in play like they were with Edinburgh 1986.
Gee I wonder if the Tories would cut off at the Knees the SNP and the Glasgow 2014 games when they have more pressing issues to deal with like the london 2012 olympics.

Getting rid of a Megalomaniac like REd Ken is a turning point . Might as well install Boris preceived as a joke then have RED ken Continue to pull a joke on the world at the countries expense.

I voted for Boris first preference and brain Padick second
Ken Livingston had to go he was wrecking London.

I don’t want a Tory government nationally , but the Mayoral election is very much about London,

The protected view status of St Paul’s will be restored and the bendy bus got rid of,
And the Olympics will be more popular because they won’t be associated with that old misery guts Ken Livingston.

Well sorry Mate you should get a Tory government very very soon. As to old Misery guts REd Ken well hey Misery enjoys company and that company
was going to be the future generations of the UK who would be like Quebecers for the last 30 years . Paying for a Debt on an olympic games.

Considering the local elections nationwide look for a Cameron government to inherit a mess from 2012 and then to go deep six to correct the problem .

I don’t think the British people are ready for a Tory government , There are still to many bad memories left over from the last time.

[arwebb]

And I'm sure that the current Government will seek to play on those bad memories increasingly in the next couple of years as we head towards the next general election.

Personally speaking, I get the feeling that the country is increasingly ready for a change of government. I remember 1997 vividly. I was 14 when Labour won the 1997 election and I vividly recall the overwhelming feeling that, at last, things were going to change and they were going to change for the better. And I feel, and have felt for a long time, that Labour have failed to make the most of the opportunities they have had.

this is how democracies work - yes the country at present is rejecting labour but this is the the first real major blip that labour has had as a governing party! the tories lack substance and i grew up in the north during the terror of margaret thatcher! i will never forget or forgive how she turned our mining community into a police state during the miner's strike. that is why i don't trust the new face of the tories as i don't see how a leopard can change it's spots.

labour have fritted away it's massive majorities from the national mood for change over the last 11 years. they did not have the guts to re-goup and focus and what the people elected them for. we are sadly about to see the dawn of a tory government and although that makes me sick - that is what democracy is about !
