#VoteBike - 2012 London Mayoral elections

Exactly my point - the personalisation of campaigning allows you to see the poin where a candidate will draw the line, and how far they will go across that line to get the power they crave.

Just because someone gets personal with you, doesn't mean you have to lower yourself to their level. Again to the apolitical bystander Ken dug himself a grave with his Tax mumblings

Actually I don't think missmouse shares your point. By PR machines, missmouse was suggesting that personal shit slinging isn't a function of how much shit there is to sling, but who slings it loudest. Ken's "gaffes" were not gaffes in the traditional sense, rather an unashamed refusal to play media political game.

While most see Boris winning after basically phoning in an entire 4 years in office as either a measure of his genius, or of Ken's poor campaign, I see it as evidence of an electorate which deserves no better. Boris brazenly doesn't give a shit and twats lap it up.
