The London Race
I will never forget seeing Boris Johnson for the first time. He was drunk out of his head in white tie and tails chairing a debate at the Oxford Union of which he was President while a student at Oxford. I thought he was a buffoon then and nothing has happened since to make me change my mind.
So I find the idea of him being Mayor of London very scary. I think it will be extremely close, and Livingstone may just turn it around (see latest Ipsos MORI poll April 9 where Ken has a one point lead). It is one thing to tell a pollster that you will vote for Boris, another to actually put a cross on a ballot paper for him to run our capital city.
But he may just do it. And if it does happen, Livingstone will have lost the election rather than Boris winning it.
