#VoteBike - 2012 London Mayoral elections

As I said, Livingstone lost it.

Johnson's victory with 50% of the vote represents the support of fewer than 20% of registered voters. One wonders what per cent age of eligible voters are registered. Johnson hardly has a mandate and certainly does not have popular support.

Livingstone lost it.

Depends how you look at the stats.. According to a chap on the BBC, Livingstone's votes correlate with the number who voted for labour in the assembly. Johnson on the other hand is way above the wider conservative votes.

From these results, I don't think an alternative Labour candidate would have done much better.
