Ken started out great, with ideas and inspiration and 'power for the people'. Then the power got to his head and he turned into a self serving, ego-centric arse. Putting through personal projects that 'he' wanted, not the majority of Londoners. He also raised the cost of public transport to high too quickly.
By the time I left he was a real arse as far as I am concerned. I had always voted Labour. But I would not have voted for him, ever again.
I am not saying I like Boris, but I think there is more there than meets the eye. I think we might all be surprised. He looked like a stereotype of an English Baffoon, it came off charming and fun and light hearted, which going by the state of the world these days can't be all that bad, no?
