It's Official - Boris Will Be In The Blue Corner

boris.jpg

Boris Johnson today won the Conservative Party open primary to determine who will be the Conservative Candidate for London Mayor. Quelle surprise!

The poll was open to Londoners of all political colours, sadly the poll wasn't highjacked by thousands of Warwick Lightfoot's magical woodland friends from the Shire. In fact, only 0.37% of eligible voters took part. Hooray for democracy.

The results were as follows -
Boris Johnson 15,661
Victoria Borwick 1,869
Andrew Boff 1,674
Warwick Lightfoot 609

Poor Warwick Lightfoot, he certainly had our backing after being the first politician to admit to us that he had vomited on the tube.
