Those charges of cronyism were overblown IMO. The problem was not so much the allegations which were weak and not exactly over the top but how he reacted to them (not apologizing etc).
I think Transport for London was improved so much, The Oyster Card, The flat rate Buses, Buying the Tickets before you get on, Better bus times and more buses.
Not to mention Crossrail.
Ken Livingstone was not perfect by any means but I don't see why that means he needs to be removed in favor of someone with no experience and who seems to have been put forward because he was a funny guy.
