Two introductory points.
I would never vote for Johnson or Paddick.
That said, I cannot vote for Livingston.
Livingston is decisive.
He stood against the official Labout candidate 12 years ago thus turning his back on the party which he purports to follow. Most recently he campaigned against an official Labour candidate in the Tower Hamlets election.
I do not think that the Labour Party should support him. I most certainly won't.
His various antisemetic rants, however couched as "jokes", are intolerable.
He is dismissive of the very type of person that he himself is. He deplores middle class white people and excludes them at every turn. His is a London for the marginalised not a London for all Londoners. I believe strongly that every minority must be embraced because I believe that every individual must be embraced. Livingston does not. He divides. He rejects middle class white people (and Jewish people and probably a few other categories of people) and just embraces those that he wishes to embrace. The pick and mix of harmony.
Livingston is, in reality, just about himself and he will harm anyone, harm London, to promote himself.
