In fairness to Livingstone, he is quite clear that he would prefer to have a Greater London Council again instead of an elected Mayor. He has said again and again that he deplores 'personality' politics, which he thinks the Mayor's role promotes.
I think it will be good for Ken to suffer a second election defeat because it might just wake him up to the fact that he doesn't have a god-given right to run London, and that people just don't fucking want him around any more.
