All in all, meh.

At least in previous contests you had the fun of voting against Livingstone or for Boris. This is just dreary.
I read some comparisons of Khan and Goldsmith's 'policies' the other day. They're both going to summon up half a million houses, improve public transport and make London the 'greenest' city on the planet, so with magical powers like these, it doesn't really matter which one is elected, does it? It looks like a win-win either way.
