Should make life... "interesting". If he actually manages to do some of the stuff he claimed he would do prior to the election, it might make riding a bike in London fractionally better, but I doubt it very much.

Pretty much the only good thing he proposed was scrapping bendy buses. I can't really see it happening, but there we are.

I'm not sure what to think, it could be the best, or worst thing to happen to London for a long time.

That's the problem. If he'd been elected because he had a sweet range of policies that were well planned and were feasible, there wouldn't be the "Either/or" aspect of it. However, because Ken and Boris fought purely based on personality, no-one knows what he's going to do. He got voted in based on the fact that he's a f**king weirdo. He could barely read from an autocue on Have I Got News For You, and 20% or so of the capital have just voted him to govern their lives :S

I think he may to prove to be a bit of a problem. I think he's brilliant, but he's still nuts.

People have voted for him because he has promised to remove that £25 4x4 tax thingy and bring back routemasters, but how is he going to deal with all the other stuff that a mayer has to do? OK he can do all the snazzy promises that makes people think, "Ooh", but can he run the country's largest city? Only time will tell.

of course he can, otherwise theres no way they'd let him stand for election, not only that its not just him running it, he'll have all kinds of advisors etc so nothing major will happen.

not that it really matter if it all goes tits up in london, they'll just move to the next biggest shithole of england, portsmouth

Aye, it's not as if Britain's entire economy is driven by London.

yeh..

Anyway.. I love boris johnson. After watching him on 'Have I Got News For You' I thought he was great. Do the british thing VOTE ON PERSONALITY lol

Have you been paying attention to the USA's general election? It's like they're electing a f**king prom queen. I think Boris is funny. He's just a comedy character. I fully expect that he'll be rubbish in the job, but who cares, it'll be a laugh.
