I haven't followed this.

Londoners have a vested interest in choosing who they want. Not really our business.

It implies that we shouldn't have an opinion about any foreign leader. At any rate, I asked because I thought that the poster of the thread would know more about it than I do, and could inform me about the person who could next be the next mayor of London, not an insignificant job, as I think you would agree.

....therefore your argument is invalid. :-P

My own opinion? Sadiq Khan seems to have won by courting Corbyn supporters, and the endorsement of Ken Livingstone played a big part in this. However, I don't think that Labour will be able to beat Zac Goldsmith in the London mayoral contest unless something drastic happens.

Although I used to live in London, I haven't in a long time, so don't have a vote there myself.

Khan is a reasonable candidate in my opinion, and probably preferable to the more Blairite Tessa Jowell, who was seen as the favourite.

However, I sadly suspect that Zac Goldsmith, the incredibly rich MP who is the favourite for the Tory nomination, will essentially, ever-so-subtly, ever-so-legally, buy the job for himself.

My current preference since I was asked? OK, welcome to LeftishBrit's fantasy world. Make Jeremy Corbyn Mayor of London - he is IMO much more suited to that than to Labour Party leadership; and give the Labour leadership to any one of the three best candidates for the deputy leadership: Tom Watson, Stella Creasy or Angela Eagle; or better still, to my fantasy Labour leader, Nicola Sturgeon, who for many obvious reasons, such as being leader of a rival party the SNP, wouldn't do it! But none of this is going to happen!
