I voted for Ken

I’m in a bad mood. It’s been a long and awful week and now everything points to a new London Mayor by the name of Boris. Grrrrr . . .

There is now almost 100,000 votes between Ken and Boris and almost all my hopes are gone. I had to think a bit about my vote for this election because Boris seemed like a good guy with some actual charisma and he rides a bike, which proves some level of insanity. But that’s why I’m not so happy with him - I think he might be all spark and no actual usefulness and when it comes down to it the leftie roots in me trust Ken more than I trust Boris to deliver on the social things that this city so desperately needs.

I guess, in the end, I won’t actually leave the country because of any new Mayor, desite his political hue but today has made me rather disappointed in the British public - who are all these people that vote BNP and why do they do it?

End of rant . . .

    It could be worse, like it could have been a run-off between Ken and Barbie :)

    i think i’ll vote Democrat in the up-coming election. Democrat or National…whichever one represents the country i’m in.

    i s’pose we could all start living in anarcho-syndicalist communes, taking turns to be the executive officers who make decisions ratified at bi-weekly meetings…
