Shame there weren't any decent candidates with a chance.

Well never mind eh. Maybe next time Left List won't bother
resurrecting Nanna Moon to represent them and they might get more than
1/4 the BNP vote.

I'm surprised George Galloway didn't put himself forward , though
perhaps even he knew there weren't enough gullible bengalis in tower
hamlets left to fall for his noble-sacrifice-for-the-people BS routine
to get a look in for this gig.

Interesting guesses.

Actually, the existence of the role is so wrong that the concept of a
decent candidate probably makes no sense. Whoever you vote for, some
politician ends up in a grossly overpowered and anti-democratic role.

They should have a council where representatives of several
constituencies could actually vote on stuff, avoiding whimsical (and
expensive) swings of policy. They could call it, I dunno, the GLC?
