Just because there's a Con-Lib coalition in Parliament at Westminster it doesn't mean there's going to be Con-Lib coalitions elsewhere. There isn't going to be a Con-Lib coalition in the London Assembly (the Lib Dems in the Assembly continue to regard themselves as part of the opposition), Of course, because they have no say in running things. And if they stand against the Tories in 2012, they will continue to have no say in running things, and there's a fair chance that the Tories will have no say in running things either. Together they will walk it. Or cycle it. Bear in mind that the London Assembly is a rather different beast when compared to a local or county council, or Parliament, or indeed the assemblies of Wales or NI (which are themselves both rather distinct from each other). The London Assembly is more about oversight and scrutiny, as opposed to governing - the executive power is held by the Mayor. The Assembly does have a vote on the budget, but it's only on the overall budget, rather than a line-by-line break down of it |

Or, you know, the main opposition to Bojo the Clown could be from a party other than Labour. Maybe even one which was in government more recently. The Liberal Democrats are extremely weak in many parts of London with very little organisation - in the local elections last weak they only put up 12 candidates for the 60 council seats here in Newham and couldn't field a candidate for borough Mayor. They're further hampered by a structure that gives too much campaign power to local parties and doesn't easily adapt for the GLA elections - by a lot of accounts their effort in the last elections was often hampered because different borough parties within the same Assembly constituency were not co-ordinating well. |
