Only that Labour sacked him and then grovelled to have him back, preferring to field a different candidate rather than risk the wrong one.

But it is interesting how the job of mayor has a more presidential character surrounding it as it seems to be more about personalities than about parties.

It may be a reason why the Moyor of London may end up, by precedent, being a comparatively independant office.

I is certainly the reason why the tories have fielded "a character" as their candidate.
