Hi, I really can't see why everyone is getting so excited about who is the EU's new Mayor of London. The concept as put forward by Tiny Blur and his accolytes has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with London and everything to do with bringing London under the direct control of a foreign power. If we the peoples of Britain wish to change the House of Lords and decentralise aspects of OUR Governance there is no problem with so doing within the framework of OUR Constitution. The people are being lied to, as usual, by Tiny Blur and his cotterie. REGIONALISATION and all these impotent Assemblies and the concept of Mayors in large cities and the destruction [rather than restucturing] of the House of Lords are to align with Articles #263, 264 & 265 of the CONsolidated EUropean Union Treaties. Who is elected Mayor of London or head of the Mickey Mouse Assemblies is a matter of total irrelevance they will be doing what they are told/allowed by the un democratic, corrupt, protectionist and evil EUropean Union. Once we are no longer members of the Evil Union we can discuss OUR structure of governance, openly, fairly, with decency and act within the laws of our Sovereign independent Nation. Until that day comes we HAVE TO do what the EU dictates and the sole purpose of the parliament at Westminster is to use any method they can to sell the evil concept to the peoples of Britain - Tiny Blur has found a good way of doing this TELL LIES.

Glenda Jackson, one of the three Labour candidates, said she was "shocked and flabbergasted" at the news. She said: "I just hope it will still be possible for everyone to maintain a clean campaign." Ms Jackson said she now expected Steven Norris, the former transport minister, to stand as the Tory candidate, adding that the Conservatives would then have "a genuinely formidable character". Ken Livingstone agreed. Last night he said: "The most likely outcome of this is that the Tories will stand a political bruiser like Steven Norris. And unlike Archer, Norris would enjoy united support from the Tory press and the Tory party's machine. Labour activists will now expect the formidable attack skills of Labour's Millbank HQ to be deployed against Norris." Frank Dobson, the former Health Secretary, and Labour leadership favourite for the party's mayoral nomination, said the withdrawal of Lord Archer meant that the three Labour candidates would face a stronger Tory challenge. He said: "Labour will now clearly face a more formidable candidate. Labour needs to choose a serious candidate for a serious job. London's voters want a candidate who will make a practical difference, not a headline grabber of a self-publicist." Susan Kramer, the Liberal Democrat candidate, said: "The mayoral race has gone from farce to tragedy. For several months there will be no Labour or Conservative candidate in the field. Both parties have lost the confidence of the voters. Every further day which they spend trying to sort out their internal crises is a day which they are not devoting to the problems of Londoners." The Conservative party's mayoral selection panel will reconvene today to decide whether to select Mr Norris, who was beaten by Lord Archer in the original ballot of London Conservatives, or whether to hold a fresh election. A new election would be possible, since Labour has only just selected its shortlist of candidates and has yet to start sending out ballot papers. 2 October 1999: Chaotic start as Archer is picked for mayor race 6 July 1999: Norris will challenge Archer for mayor vote
