I prefer to base my decisions on what people say. That's not being closed-minded. And with this 'listening' thing that politicians are supposed to do... they really can't win. If they do what opinion polls show they should do, they're accused of pandering to focus groups, and if they ignore opinion polls, they're accused of being 'out of touch' and not...'listening to the people.'

I'm not sure what personal goals you have in mind that's driven Ken to make decisions, but one thing I've never doubted is that his decisions were meant with London's best interests at heart.

Good luck to Boris. And I mean that.
