Boris Johnson for Mayor of London??

Despite trying the very best to recruit as candidate for Mayor of London, the Tories have now seemingly turned to Boris Johnson as the next possible candidate after others turned them down and the third rate candidates that did put themselves forward.

Personally I would welcome him as candidate, as he would be bound to issues gaffes with alarming frequency given his career record and if he was selected he will have difficulty getting away from the reputation that he's a bit of a buffoon. I have no doubt that Ken would beat him, however he would make the campaign more colourful and liven up proceedings whilst providing his far share of comical moments along the way. Whether he stands remains to be seen but given that the Tories are thin on the ground of plausible candidates it may very well be Ken V Boris come next May.
