Boris for Mayor of London?

I am pleased Boris Johnson is going to have a stab at being the Mayor of London. Not least because his profile gives him a chance of unseating the angry Marxist embarrassment known as Ken Livingstone. Boris is far from perfect, frequently amusing, but is bound to be better than Ken.
I have no idea what Boris would bring, other than a healthy dose of skepticism about Nanny State. After all when criticising Jamie Oliver he said "I say let people eat what they like. Why shouldn't they push pies through the railings. I would ban sweets from school - but this pressure to bring in healthy food is too much" later describing Jamie Oliver as a "national saint" and "messiah" given David Cameron's glorification of him.
I want a few things from a Johnson mayoralty - but what it boils down to is less government, less spending and more accountability.

It's going to be a brilliant canpaign and I will do whatever I can to convince everybody to vote for Boris. I am a little concerned that Boris's personality might tend to make people think he is unable to be a good candidate but that is nonsense :)

Anybody but Ken is my usual catchphrase. Red Ken is an utter wanker and must go!
