The idea of him representing and being the face of one of 5 most important cities in the world is such a shame. I think a lot of people have taken this whole "mate, Boris is a legend! He's well funny" thing way too far. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a lot of his vote came from people who took absolutely 0 interest in politics, but saw him on 'Have I got news for you' and thought he was ironically funny. Ugh, I'm really annoyed about it. I get the feeling it's a bit like the Bush situation: It's not going to be long until he starts making horrendous gaffs and stupid decisions, causing everyone to say "why the hell did we vote for him?" while the rest of us slap out foreheads and say "told you so".
I wonder what effect BNP candidate will have on his area. Bad times.
