I voted for him, can't say I've been too impressed so far. OTOH he
seems fairly harmless unlike Ken.

I'm not sure that your "fairly harmless" is a compliment - I don't
think it is very far removed from my "completely ineffectual". Surely
there is no point in a Mayor who achieves almost nothing?

Achieving nothing is infinitely preferable to being actively harmful.
