Well here in outer London nobody will vote for Khan Khan leads the polls in both inner and outer London, although his lead is smaller in outer London. Your claim that nobody will vote for him in Outer London is not just patently untrue, but the sort of unfounded made up crap which ruins this forum. Have an opinion by all means, but don't make up facts. |

Have an opinion by all means, but don't make up facts. Well if you had read and quoted my whole post and saw it in the context it meant you wouldn't have been so confused . I could have explained if asked for clarification . Outer London to Londoners is just that , the outer part made up of the parts of the home counties swallowed up by the expanding metropolis in the 60's and 70's . Im talking about the likes of Kingston , Richmond ,Purley and Kenley , Not fecking Norbury , Brixton ,Streatham and Peckham. (As in ''when Northern parts of Surrey became Greater London) There are many ways of ruining forums one of which is being fucking rude to fellow posters which is fine when its warranted , its not when your just making yourself look a prat |

I know what outer London is. If you had read the article that I provided above, you would have seen that I was correct in what I said about Khan leading in outer London too.
I didn't mean to be rude, so apologies if it came over like that, but I did mean to call out your made up fact.

The main point is that being Mayor of London is pretty much a nothing job anyway. Larger than life characters such as Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson made it look a lot more than is, but at the end of the day their responsibilities don't extend much beyond public transport and the police, which makes mayor Khan a cross between a part time PCSO and a bus driver.
I dare say that Saddo will win again in May. He won't do much good, but he is unlikely to do much harm either

You may know what outer London is as far as the maps go and how outer London is defined politically but thats not how London / outer London is defined by the people that live there . As I have tried to explain outer London is seen as the parts that became Greater London back in the 60's which are basically the parts of greater London today that don't have London postcodes . So when the political pollsters say Khan has the support from outer London they are ignoring the support he actually has in outer London which is virtually nil . Hope that has cleared it up .  |

She needs to get her skates on — she's got a little over a month to get her message across.
At the moment I'd bet more voters have heard of Albert Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall or Shoreditch Town Hall than are aware of Susan Hall...

As alluded to a few pages back the conservatives haven't put anyone up for this post with any chance of winning it since Johnson . You have to assume they want nothing to do with it . |

Sadiq Khan has unveiled a new election pledge to put around 1,300 extra neighbourhood police officers, PCSOs and special constables on the streets of London.
The Mayor of London made the pledge alongside shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper while out on patrol with officers from the Metropolitan Police in Earlsfield, south-west London.
The Labour incumbent said: “Keeping Londoners safe is my number one priority, being both tough on crime and tough on its complex causes.
“I’m delighted to announce that working with a new Labour government I’d put around an extra 1,300 police and community support officers on the beat in London.
IMHO Too little too late, and if by chance the Tories win the GE, and if he is still in place which is highly likely will he still do it ? perhaps perhaps not

He has a lot of support especially in London's East End Tower Hamlets and Dalston from the local Muslim Community the Imams will tell them who to vote for, lots of people in London don't bother to vote IMHO. I think many in the outer Boroughs will vote against him due to Ulez its has cost many residents thousands of pounds to buy new cars. or priced them off the road and his pandering buying off Aslef and RMT to stop industrial action means it is expensive to travel on Public Transport, and very difficult for essential workers to get to or from work during the night |

The mayoral elections usually have a fairly low turn out and if that's the case again then Khan will probably win.
But Khan's annoyed a lot of people in outer London who don't normally vote. If they turn out, he's got a problem.

If they turn out, he's got a problem. Wish that was likely. But as total votes in London — inner and outer — are so overwhelmingly pro Labour, it needs an appealing candidate, who appears mainly apolitical (eg, Boris Johnson) to attract votes from all sides. Is Hall (currently No.2 in the opinion polls), or anyone else, anywhere near attracting Labour voters…? |

Well, in round figures the last time around Khan got a million votes vs 900,000 for the runner up.
An approx 10% margin on a 42% turnout.
So there are several million unused votes up for grabs and it only takes a few percent of those to get off the sofa and Khan's got a serious problem.
I must admit that I don't always vote in the mayoral elections, because most mayor stuff doesn't really affect us Outer Londoners, but I will be voting this time.
As I suspect will quite a few others.
