London Mayor: Ken v Boris

It's still too close to call, but London may well be waking up to a new Mayor. If this is the case we might all be waking up to a new Prime Minister soon as it has been an absolute bloodbath for Labour at the polls nationally.

What does everyone think?

I really hope Boris gets into CityHall for the fact that Ken Livingstone has really not helped anybody at all. As a born Londoner I can't afford to buy a house, I am not eligable for any help buying a house because I earn too much money, but once my council tax and transport costs are paid, along with my rent I don't really have that much left anyways! It just makes me feel like I am in a catch 22 situation.

I can't imagine it is much easier for people moving to the country from America because you also get the short end of the stick. I think a change will do everybody good and the sooner the Labour stronghold over the country is gone the better!

I can only hope Boris makes some changes that make life a bit eaiser for people who work within London, I think we do get the short end of the stick!

I will def hold you to eating you hat if any tax is reduced! (Although I won't hold my breath on that one!)

At least I don't have to listen to Ken's annoying voice in press confrences anymore!
