Election fever, France and Greece

Election day today in both Greece and France. The French have the chance to vote for a new President with a new socilaist perspective whilst the Greeks have turned the election into a referendum on whether they stay in the Euro and take the austerity measures and continue the punishment infllicted on them by Berlin or reject mainstream parties and chose to drop the 'package' they have been offered and bring the Euro down with them.

There are intensive battles going on between the two major parties PASOK and ND both promising things they can not deliver but the quaestion is whether the smaller groups on the far right and the hard left will gain enough seats in the 300 member parliament to force PASOK or ND to go into coalition with them. Its all very unclear! I am, of course, urging people to vote for the Socialist PASOK!

Bojo gets back in

Well everyone knows that Ken now lost and it really is a shame for London and Londoners. There is no point going over why the campaign didn't seem to work but I must say that I had great doubts about the arrogance of Ken's PR team. They wanted to control everything and everyone around him and that was a mistake. If they allowed him to be himself and slightly controversial people would have gone out to vote. And that's where it went wrong. It was difficult to motivate voters to go out and cast their vote.

On the other hand Ken didn't lose by too much although and as my mother always says you either lose or you win. Was also right about the self obsessed Paddick he managed to get the Lib vote to go down to fourth place. It takes more than changing your glasses to win an election. Good policies would help??

The battle goes on!

Our own on Question Time

Was good to see our own Jon of the Rogers and Marsha Jane on Question Time last night. Not sure Jon's outfit was the right choice for the occasion but he made some good comments. Also understand that Marsha annoyed David Dimble  before the programme started which is good because he is a bit of a banana. Anyway next time you vote on an NEC or any other election remember who has had national exposure on telly? Yes, Jon and Marsh!

Ah and another thing, when is the BBC going to be able to find more than one woman to appear on the panel? Have they hard that more than half of the population of this country is female? Maybe they don't have access to google stats? Sort it out BBC!

Vote for Ken!

Busy helping out today. Hoping that those of us who live in this great city of ours get out  and vote for Hope, Progress and better transport system. Don't let the rain put you off, get an umbrella but go out and vote!

Ken is the only candidate with a proven record on Equalities and competence. A vote for him is a vote for progress. In addition he is not totally up the Labour party's ass so he can be relied on!

Ken for London Mayor, vote for Hope and Progress

I am assuming that the Labour party PR people are controlling what Ken does and doesn't do and if that's the case then I hope they are right about keeping a lower profile than he is used to having during an election campaign.

Personally I think they were wrong to make him handle things the way they wanted him to last time round and I know that many agree with me when I say that his best asset is high profile appearances. We don't seem to have had many of those lately? Are we to expect a massive re appearance tomorrow and if yes wouldn't that be a bit late? I hope I am wrong, saying that I also hope that people will go out and vote for Ken tomorrow as there is no real alternative!

Vote for Ken!
