If you do live in the capital and did not give your second preference vote to Boris Johnson MP (now Mayor of London) then you did exactly as the europhiles wanted you to do. They were all backing Livingstone.

Yes but Boris Johnson is an absolute idiot.He is one of the worst possible candidates the Tories could of dragged up and they have plenty of practice with bad candidates(and PM's.).

BonnieDundee: Regarding your criticism of Boris Johnson MP (last posting to this thread) - it is Labourites Livingstone and Gordon Brown whom the voters are angry with and who the voters are criticising - not Boris Johnson MP.

Boris Johnson won a huge victory in yesterday's London Mayoral Election (almost doubling the Conservative vote compared to 2004) and political analysts over here (most of whom you will not have heard since you are in Sydney) are saying that the Labour Party "seriously under-rated" Boris Johnson as a Mayoral candidate.

Labour supporters and other lefties will be very angry this morning as they come to learn that the europhile leftist Livingstone became (through no choice of is own) the very first EX-MAYOR of London at 11.53 pm last night (UK time).

A great moment for our capital as Livingstone was deservedly ejected by a huge margin by the voters (Boris Johnson's majority over him is nearly 140, 000 votes - not exactly the knife-edge election result some had forecast).

As you are in Sydney you will not have heard the views of London people directly. I talk with London folk every day and there is an understandable anti-Livingstone mood in our great capital - one that Livingstone never saw coming and proved unable to surmount.

Thank goodness he is no longer our Mayor.
