It's that executive committee that made me think twice about Boris. Who are they? And would I just be voting for a figurehead? I know that Ken also had a team of people but I had the impression that he was a little more hands on.

Having said that Boris is highly intelligent and might just make a good crack at it if he continues to take it seriously. I guess we just have to make the best of it and hope that the outgoing administration are as helpful as Ken seemed to suggest in his speech on Friday so that there's a smooth hand over.

All the rest of us can do is watch, hope for the best and those of us who voted for another candidate can have a good moan if things don't turn out as well... and be ready in four years time.
