fortunately voters are way smarter in the USA than in London.

I wish I was confident about that. Remember, USA voters did elect Obama twice.

Yeah, you’ve got a point. Of course 0bama scammed the voters into believing he wasn’t a muzzie.

Not to mention GWB.

Your post #6 comparing respective voting trends.

Figures are Khan 56.9 percent and Goldsmith 43.1 percent. What should be considered is the old class system in England. Khan was touted as working class and bought up in council houses (subsidized rent) son of a taxi driver. Goldsmith was educated at the highest of elite universities. He is a multi-millionaire. They use political party status in their mayoral elections. Khan is of the Labour Party. Goldsmith of the Conservative Party. The turnout of voters was only 45 percent.

As for myself from London,living in Canada, I can only wonder at the new mayor's claim to unite. In the next breath, he snipes at Donald Trump. Imagining some action by Trump, even before Trump has power.

Once a leftie liberal always a leftie .
