I honestly don't think Bailey and Khan can even be compared to each other, Bailey is a total joke compared to Khan. Sorry, but I disagree, if Bailey is a joke, Khan is a flipping clown. He is almost as bad as George Galloway. Just to remind you as you seem to be getting confused, Khan is the current Labour Mayor, Shaun Bailey is the Conservative clown running for Mayor  |

He really is a hapless buffoon way out of knowledge base. That isn’t to say any other candidate would be best but it’s certainly fair to say Kahn is the whiteface of clowns. |

I'm not saying he is the best. I don't agree with some of his policies but he is the best we have of the 20 candidates |

But I’m not equating BJ to SK and its a really poor defence of SKs failures to say the PM is a clown as well. What is SKs legacy? Every mayor should have something to prove how they benefited London and improved it from the last mayor. Livingstone had his public transport legacy, BJ the Olympics, boris bikes and of course the borismaster but where is SKs legacy? Oh I know it’s that guys that got stabbed at Brent Cross a couple of days ago, it’s that decimation of TfL, it’s that huge increase of crime. I cannot stop anyone voting for Kahn but I look forward to saying I told you so when it all falls to poo. |

Clearly the voters don't share your opinion, in fact many regard the opposition leader as the clown. |

Ironically we have an actual clown as Prime Minister and yet the voters can't seem to get enough of him. Politics in general is a personality contest first and purpose & substance second. Please don't overthink this, next to no one as elected officials have the relevant credentials for their role. Why on earth are former business directors heading up departments of government like health or education? Would you want a CEO at your GP's office treating your serious physical ailments? Boris is liked because he doesn't have to fake that much of his personality to an extent. He's a bumbling idiot who's a keen cyclist and loves his fair share of partners and affairs. That's a big swathe of the electorate that can relate to at least one of the criteria stated above. He also revels in speaking with the public whereas most politicians quiver behind their security if assigned to them. |

Boris seems to be getting into a new scandal every Friday, I'd be quite surprised if he manages to last until the 2024 election unscathed. Although I'm not sure whether he might eventually get forced out or resign on his own accord due to his apparent financial issues. Any potential replacement apart from Rishi Sunak is likely to probably give the Tories a beating in the polls when the time comes. Interestingly next time around the General and Mayoral elections come up just months from each other in 2024. I don't think Khan will contest it, rather opting for a return to parliament. I think at least one Labour MP for London will end up stepping down, giving Khan a huge advantage to jump back into the Commons and continue working up the ladder much like Boris did. |

Final Prediction: A comfortable Sadiq Khan win, although initial reports of a first round landslide won't materialise following the spike in murders last week. But still a potential landslide when second preference votes are counted.

The Borismaster & Olympics are fair shouts although one hasn’t been successful. Khan’s legacy will be tackling emissions along with the other bits you mention |

However that so-called "relatable" personality has been underpinned by a bed of lying to cover up sleaze and incompetence, and the electorate is now cottoning on. People might like a clown, but they don't appreciate it when they are the ones being treated as the fools. |

Trouble is people in London are warped into a bubble and support Labour like a football team. The rest of the country has woken up. Unless the party changes drastically, they would start to crumble like the Lib Dems. Even in places like Scotland, Labour has lost out massively to the SNP. Khan seems to be trying to do a Boris than carve his own path and would NEVER make PM. The guy just does not realise how badly he is despised outside of London and that is even by Labour supporters. He would do worse than Corbyn at an election and that is saying something. |

Khan’s legacy will be tackling emissions along with the other bits you mention Tackling emissions whilst building the Silvertown tunnel would not go down well. Its either your all in or not in. Having a stupid policy of closing roads were having cars sit on main roads creating more traffic is hardly keeping emissions down. Sorry, try another one. Only legacy he has is rising levels of crime. |
