After bear grylls. I will tune into the big debate, will you also watch it? And who would you like to be the new mayor? I like few of them, but my favourite is khan, it is on bbc1 10:45pm  |

"I think I'd prefer more time to scrutinize their manifestos etc. The capital needs someone as far removed from the current arse wipe as possible though. "
What has Boris achieved? Some bikes?
He's actually very intelligent but I haven't a clue what he's been doing as Mayor. |

"Borris not going for it again? I like him "
Not sure if he is going for it again, he have been there 8 years, but it would be good if he did. I like him and he is fun.

"Isn't George Galloway in the running yet? Yes he have been in the race for few weeks now and got a chance too."
I heard the BBC had blocked George Galloway from appearing on the debate show? I'm no fan of Galloway but how can that be fair? Is he appearing on the show tonight? |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |

The bikes deal was well advanced by Ken when Boris took over. They just weren't yet on the streets.
I'm not happy with either Khan's or Goldsmith's Party Political Broadcasts. I've seen them both up close and... I'll hold judgement until I see them perform tonight.

I think that's the wrong call. They only have to feature the top three parties but I think they now always include the Greens. I think it should have featured all the candidates. Although the legalise grass candidate and some of the other one theme ones might be difficult to broadcast.

I haven't heard anything about it if he is in or not yet, but yeah I think all the candidates should be there to create a debate, don't you? Even if their views are controversial. |

"

Other people could do it but he has the politics show gig so it's him now. The only thing I like him on now is This Week.
Caroline Pidgeon has been consistent over the last couple of years.

"Good points so far, tfl owns lots of spaces, equal to 16 hyde parks. I think they can give few of the land away to them."
There is a sell off plan for TfL land already. Khan's right that it could be used for housing but that might affect some of the income expected and some of the land is being held for future transport plans.
Goldsmith has been running a negative campaign and he's not selling himself well here. Khan is currently ahead in the polls but he's not selling himself well either.
Sian Berry needs to speak up more in this debate. |

That is right and goldsmith need few more points there as well, yeah khan is making good points as London needs housing, they said like every decade the population will be growing by 1million, imagine after 50 years. |

But only 1.6 Hyde parks they can build on
Love the fact they think affordable houses starting prices are £450K |

Main choice is Khan who has been associated (by the opposition/press) with various terrorist supporting groups and does seem to have some rather dodgy friends.
Or Goldsmith, with his rich, posh-boy banking connections and no apparent grasp of real life?
Makes me glad I live out of London and don't have a vote! |
