Ken vs. Boris: It's So On

80 per cent of first choice votes in, R4 say Boris leading.

The four left to declare all have Boris in the lead. If it's tight, we're going to a second preference count.

I managed to let go in the pub, I'm not going to look at this thread for as long as I can bear to. Paying attention will be the equivalent of watching England play a penalty shootout against Portugal or Germany that you know full well they are going to lose, but without the small consolation of knowing that it doesn't really matter.

Boris leads the 'London South West' constituency with 90,061 first preference votes.

Still doesn't take him to 50%.

He won't get 50% of first choice votes, only some moran at ES who forgot there were more than two candidates thought he would get more than 50%

After 11 constituencies decalred:

Have I Got News For You: 804,439 (42%)
Have I Got Newts For You: 709,929 (37%)
Have I Got Dead Brazilians For You: 187,158 (10%)

James, you are delivering the lols.

No, Boris is. HE IS A LEGERND!!!

city and east

Graham Kemp (NF) 2,350 (1.28%)

Not to mention the heart-warming 2,350 who thought that the BNP were too touchy-feely and decided that the NF were the ones for them. (xpost)

also this:

Bexley and Bromley

Conservative hold

Constituencies 12, 13 and 14 will be announced together, with the results of the second preference. So the next annoucement should be the final result. No idea when this is.

Bexley and Bromley = Most horribly right-wing part of London? Is this where Stephen Lawrence was killed?

Ed, where is Southall in these contests? S4t1nd3r's uncle is the Left List LA candidate.

I'm guessing ealing and hillingdon

Salvinder Dhillon (Left List) 2,390 (1.38%)

Beaten by NF and UKIP. BOOOOO.

Announcement shortly.

Con 8 Lab 6 in assembly constituencies

Gavron came second in Cam/Brent. Who the hell voted for Tories in our manor?

londonelects suggests all the results are in but doesn't have THEE RESULT

Its been ages since I lost an election.

Reminds me of being 18 again.

I'm going to have to start voting twice again, aren't I?

Two affairs: 1,043,761 (43%)
Five kids: 893,877 (37%)

Graun has those as the 13 of 14 results

The Guardian's blogger is crap at copy n paste.

Stop cheering you Tory cunts.

First pref, obv

I'd hope Berry could get 100k+ London-wide but even if every single one of those voters gave their 2nd choice to Ken, he can't do it. Especially as it doesn't seem Ken will getting any joy from Paddick supporters (an extra 10k at best if the polls are way out).

Even DJ Martian can't say something funny to lighten the mood :(

After second prefs:
Johnson: 1,168,738
Livingstone: 1,028,966

Johnson wins.

cuntybollocks

2 go through

combined with 2nd pref votes

Con 1,168, 738
Lab 1,028, 966

:-(

welcome to laughing stock city, Londoners

Boris: thanks the 'knocker-uppers'.

Boris: disputes multi-culturalism.

Does he think he has won an oscar?

So basically it's STARTING ALREADY.

YouGov has it, at final polling, as Johnson 53 Livingstone 47. Which, sadly, sounds about right.
