Default Would you vote for Boris - PM

I heard some ramblings on the news last night that he wouldn't rule out going for PM. Everyone I have spoken to about this today says they would vote for him.


What are your thoughts on this?

I think he could do with a bit more experience yet, but he has got a down to earth attitude with a bit of common sense and he says it like it is. That is all to the good in my book.

He's not the statesman in anyway but simply for the reasons outlined by Leslie he has to be worth considering.

Lets get this clear Boris is as mad as a box of frogs, but in this era of bent MP's and spin and bulls**t i'd gladly take him over this shower that we have in power any day of week.

behind the looks and the ramblings lies an intelligant and articulate sensible bloke.

So my answer would be yes.

Been to dinner where he was guest speaker, he is definatly no fool, he's very quick to pick up the point and is very observant.

PM why not

(or clarkson for a laugh)

to put in context, got a chance to meet the PM a couple of months back, he seems polished when "prepared" but he has the back room boys to do that.

dont be fooled, he likes to portray a bumbling approachable persona but he is as reactionary an OLD tory as they come

if he gets in it really will be champagne and cavier all round in the mansions of NHG, and pretty much fvck the rest

I am torn, On the one side he reminds me of my mate Barney and Barney is not the kind of person I would want running a country.
On the other side he has done a pretty good job of London (so far).
If he will put his Dad into Number 11 then that might sway it for me.

He reminds me of a fat Tim Nice But Dim crossed with Ken Clarke.

I suppose SN is 99.9999% Tory, hence why he's liked.

In this age where the average person is totally disillusioned by the slick smart-talking super-spinning blair-ite and the wooden breathless dullard post boom Brown.

A bumbling oafish eccentric nutcase is a much more attractive alternative.

Why the f*ck not, he couldnt make things worse, in fact I think there is a strong vein of common sense and level headedness under the strange and slightly eccentric exterior, also a sense of fair play, most of which were missing from the odious Livingstone.

I most certainly would, even if was just for the crack for a couple of years. He's not perfect, but there's worse options out there

I'd vote for him, but I'd like to see a change to the way other political posts are handed out. I think the other posts should go to people with expertises and experience in that particular area like in the US. The way someone can ***** up transport then move to defence is just wrong.

And let me guess, Ken had it all right, no knifes when Ken was Mayor, better transport when Ken was Mayor.................
Nope, didn't think so. Things dont change overnight, but to even see someone pushing things in the right direction is a positive.

Its not so much about his personality, its more about his unprepared approach to things, so fantastic, well written answers from his spin dpctors, no smoke (ok very little) just straight talking, and seems to have the same interests and ideas as the majority of London.

Bendy's WILL be going, they were never going to be withdrawn imediatly. CC £25 was stopped in its tracks, LEZ is on hold for phase 2 if he gets his way, West London CC to be removed, East London CC stopped. Freedom Pass extended, Rver Transport to be expanded, St Georges day finally recognised........... Na you're right, what a pratt!

Bendy buses will not disappear until their leases expire.

Unless the tax payer wants to pay the penalty cost for terminating the contracts early.

Agreed, the only fault i have found so far is his interest in an amnesty for illegals, rewarding people who break the laws and rules of this country in just not right and sets a bad example and will lead to 1000,s more illegals

amnesty for 1,000,000, christ on a bike, the population of the UK is around 65,000.00 so one in 59 or so of us is an illegal!

so much for being an island then

sorry for thr rant but this has bothered me about Boris

His next job ought to be as a selection officer in a job centre, the last 3 'key officials ' that he took on all left for various reasons, he has a good sense of charactor assesment,
Baffonism spot on !
