Actually, I suspect it was a case of the opposite. Londoners voted for him because they found him slightly less offensive than the tory candidate, the liberals continually make the mistake of being open and saying their policies will cost money (nothing seems to frighten voters off quicker than the thought of higher taxes) andall the minority parties are a little bit "out there" for the mainstream voters..

Name one. Better public transport is one, but is currently hampered by the stupid system of privatisation in place on both tube and trains, and buses are hampered by the number of cars on the road.
