Sue Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Someone told me last night there was a website where you could answer questions about your priorities for London and it would tell you which candidate met them, or something like that, anybody know the address of it?I've tried googling but nothing came up.

Otta Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 And according to that, I should be voting Green, with Lib Dem second, which is exactly what I WANT to do. Still feel like perhaps I should go for Ken second though, even though I think he's a toad.

Sue Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I came up Green first, then Lib Dem second with Labour a very close third.I don't like Ken Livingstone much but on the other hand I don't want Boris to get back in, so I think I'm going to vote Green with Labour as my second choice as I don't think the Lib Dems have much of a chance.

maxxi Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Apparently I should vote Lib Dem with Greens second - it didn't ask whether or not I thought Paddick was an arse though so I shall be ignoring the advice of this obviously LibDem/Green sponsored site...

El Pibe Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I tend to feel that the more locally focussed the election the less concerned about broader party partisan politics one should be and the more focussed on specific issues.Either way the above site tells me not to touch Boris with a barge pole, and though the buffoon is weirdly lovable I intend to be true to that advice.Ken ranked second on the web test but he's actually behind UKIP for me, odious little turd.So gay, pot smoking rozza it is! Not that he has a cat in hell's chance. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23264-london-mayor/#findComment-541858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chippy Minton Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Labour - 15 Green - 12 Liberal Democrat - 11 Independent - 3 UKIP - -4 Conservative - -12 No surprise here for me, but I'm not keen on Ken. I'll still vote Labour, but for me Ken's too old and too tainted and obviously, along with Boris, has done too much to turn London politics away from policy and more towards personality. It was a shame (for Labour) that Oona King performed so poorly in the hustings.And, after last night, I'm even less keen on him - his team posted campaign material through my letterbox at about 10.30pm and woke one of kids (6) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23264-london-mayor/#findComment-541864 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chippy Minton Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I think you'll find it's on your fridge ;-)If it isn't, don't worry - you don't need it. As long as you're on the electoral roll you can just turn up.

Undisputedtruth Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Green 21Liberal Democrat 19Labour 17Independent 7UKIP 0Conservative -8I'm not sure who I'd vote for. Boris is strangely likeable and hasn't done much damage to London. However, the only reason why I wouldn't vote for him is that the Conservatives may see his victory as a vindication of their own policies. The airport in the Thames Estuary is a ompletely daft idea. Links with News International is a serious concern. He also seems to be piggybacking on past central government policies such as the Olympic legacies.No doubt about Ken's credentials. A man with vision and fight for London's corner. But there are concerns with his behaviour in office. Improving the rail link between Peckham, Camberwell, Nunhead and Victoria is another plus for me.Brian Paddick has some interesting ideas including extending the Bakerloo line further into South London, Cross River trams and Brixton interchange with the East London line extension. His experience in the met will obviously be useful as Mayor.The Greens have some great policies but will Londoners take the leap of faith to vote for them?

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Liberal Democrat 21 Conservative 10 Green 6 Independent 5 UKIP 4 Labour 3 Slightly alarmed by those results. But I don't like Paddick and adore Boris so I shall vote in shallow fashion.

wee quinnie Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I've tried them both, and got LD and Green as the top 2 for both. I think I'm gonna be voting 1. Green; 2. Labour. though.

PeckhamRose Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Green - most of the other candidates are adopting green policies anyways and to be fair to Southwark Council, they have a brand new refuse and recycling facility now and it really is up to us to be 'green' and recycle.If She got in (don't make me say the name of that daft woman) life would get a whole lot worse. She really does live in another fairy world. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23264-london-mayor/#findComment-541923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeckhamRose Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I just did the test and came out Lib Dem by a big margin then Labour.AGH! I thought I detested LibDems! Now what do I do!
