Is it a done deal, will Khan 100% win next week? No, anything can happen. I never trust pollsters, they are full of S##t to be honest. They get everything to the wrong people. When the coalition came in, many said it was a Labour win. They were showing at the last election it was neck and neck or conservative may just ease past because of Brexit, in the end it was a record landslide. No they didn't - most predicted a Tory win and were suprised it ended up being a coalition. Most polls aren't wrong. |

Not a done deal by any means but it's highly likely he'll win - similar to if a general election was called now where it's highly likely Labour would win. ...and currently looking more likely that Labour will win a GE bearing in mind SNP appears to be imploding... |

This is gonna sound silly but purely send a message to the major parties members, I am voting Binface this week! Will anyone join me?
I just cannot vote for Hall or the incumbent Khan!
If Hall somehow did win what would this change re buses?

I have no doubt that Khan is going to win next week but the spread of votes is going to be very interesting to see. I wouldn’t rule out a scenario where the outer London boroughs do not vote for him while the more populous inner boroughs do which pushes him over the line first. But how can he say he has a mandate if outer London didn’t vote for him?
It’s probably going to end up closer than most expect though. If only the Conservatives had put forward a more credible candidate and backed it up with a strong campaign. At this point it feels like they’ve abandoned London to Khan and I genuinely dread to think where London will be in four years time

You’re right, it is, of course, this coming Thursday |

In the end as it is not done by area but simply by numbers it will be easy for Khan to say that he has the most support among Londoners, as whether they're in Bethnal Green or Elm Park, a Londoner is a Londoner with one vote where one does not outweigh the other. |

But it isn't a case of how many want Khan out, it's a case of how many want Khan to stay. Most people may want him out but if they all then are split amongst other candidates then once again Khan is laughing all the way to City Hall. |

It’s kind of a combination of how many want Khan to stay and how many want Khan to go AND are savvy enough to vote for the only candidate who can realistically beat him, Hall. I suspect it will go to Khan, but not by a vast amount. The general election I suspect will be a much more convincing Labour victory. |

I wonder how many people who previously voted for Khan will simply stay at home. People who want Khan gone will be strongly motivated to vote. I expect it will be close. I hope Khan is gone, but at the end of the day London will get the leader the majority chooses.

I hope Khan is gone, but at the end of the day London will get the leader the majority chooses. Inmy local area they have moved the voting location some distance away. I imagine that will put people off in my local area at least. Im not sure how unique I am but I can’t bring myself to vote for Khan but almost 100% likely to vote Labour in the General Election and think this will be the first time I have considered since I started voting. |

Khan is getting a lot of backlash on X for turning off the ability to reply on his Tweets.
Probably doing more damage by doing this as people are just quoting his tweets anyway.
