Looks like I hate them all. Pretty accurate, then.


The Guardian had a much better one, as it told you why you agreed with any particular candidate. http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/interactive/2012/apr/27/london-mayor-candidate-chooser

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.

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)

I'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?

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.

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
