I'm voting for Ken as there is no one else standing who loves , lives and breathes London the way he does. You may not particularly like the man as an individual but you can hardly say he hasn't done a good job, or hasn't London's and your average Londoner's best interests at heart. His speech post 7/11 came from the heart and captured the mood of us all. That was true leadership when the chips were down. More than could be said of Blair at the time.

Paddick is a strong candidate but its not his time. Boris would be catastrophic. Ken deserves another term and we need him in the job for the next few years. It will probably be his last as a fresh face will probably be a good thing by then. But for now lets stick with what we know would be good for us, even if its not exactly what we ' would like'.
