But (assuming you mean an Inner London, ex-county-of-London borough) you're in a minority - Ken won the majority of votes in Inner London and lost because of the strong Tory contingent in places like Bromley. London is where its currently defined municiple borders end , not at a convenient point for left wingers. If you want just the historical london then you should go back to roman times which would give you the City itself, ironically a truer blue tory area you'll not be likely to find anywhere in the country. Did you somehow fail to notice that - like the vast majority of politicians - Ken is, err, a white middle-class male? And I wouldn't He may well be , but he's of the standard self hating liberal type you find dotted all around the left wing pseudo intellectual arena. personally class the massive focus on transport improvement that was the primary characteristic Ken's time in power (both in the 1980s and the 2000s) as a right-on minority cause. Can't say I noticed. The tube was just as crap as ever and even more expensive when I thankfully could give up using it to commute earlier this year. B2003 |
