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?

Well, considering that more people voted for someone other than Boris
it would be a good idea, I just have this sense of dread that the
nasty party is coming back. But, given that Labour now seems to have
more Conservative ideas that the Conservatives, maybe they have
changed. What are the chances?

I tend to think that oppositions can say what they like, but whoever
gets elected will carry out conservative policies.

I would be amused to speculate on what the SWP's, I mean Left List's,
pragmatic argument would be for continuing with PPP, handing over
parts of LU to NR-style franchises etc, but we aren't going to find
out.
