Not true - the figures speak for themselves:

London Mayoral Election 1.5.2008 -

67.9% did not give their second preference vote to Paddick (the Liberal 'Democrat' candidate). 90.2% did not give their first preference voto europhile Paddick.

Boris Johnson MP (Conservative)

First preference votes: 1, 043, 751
Second preference votes: 124, 977
Total votes (first and second preference): 1, 168, 738

'Ken' Livingstone (Labour)

First preference votes: 893, 877
Second preference votes: 135, 089
Total votes (first and second preference): 1, 028, 966

Paddick (europhile Liberal 'Democrats')

First preference votes: 236, 685
Second preference votes: 641, 412
Total votes (first and second preference): 878, 097

* As well as getting a worse result in the 2008 London Mayoral Election than they got in 2004 - the Liberal 'Democrats' also lost two of their five seats on the London Assembly in the Assembly election held on 1.5.2008.
Well if that data is correct then you are right, I was just going on the OP's information.
