And the final countdown begins

With only two days left of campaigning the London candidates, in my opinion, are really starting to show their true colours.

Ken's campaigns is hitting new lows, even by his standards. He knows the electorate don't like his policies, so he isn't even bothering to try and fight this election on them. Instead he is using the old NuLabour scare tactics. The usual they will cut your services, and their polices will be a threat to national security. Yes that old tripe is surfacing again. Just like Tony Blair with the old retoric of "if we don't have id cards the security of the nation is at risk", Ken is try the same by saying that Boris is a threat to London.

The contrast is the Boris is holding his own, and campaigning on issues. He is showing his ideas, unfortunately all of good ones are being openly pinched by Ken, but that isn't surprising as Labour are doing that nationally, i.e. inheritance tax. But, he hasn't lowered himself to Ken's level of scaring the voters. In last night's Evening Standard even I was astounded at the lengths that some of his supporters are stooping to. But like I said, it's an old tactic which was continued this morning with an advert in the Metro, and the "Don't risk London" slogan. If the electorate don't want to risk London, then they definetly not vote for Ken.

But, for me, one key indicator of the transformation of Boris from an MP, to real potential as Mayor was shown in last nights Sky News Tv debate. He simply looked fresh, sounded passionate, whereas Ken looked tired and sounded awfully repetitive. The only counter arguement he had was to attack Boris personally.

Is that really how we want our mayor to conduct themselves, to be pasionate about London, or simply to slag off their opponents?
