It's up to him to decide what he stands for isn't it and presumably for those who selected him to have thought about it. If it turns out he's simply calculated wrongly that it'll boost his popularity then that's his tough luck. On the other hand, if he's only now decided (on the basis of the deal Cameron has only just secured) to get out that's fair enough by me. I don't see why any prospective Mayor of London shouldn't be entitled to their own view on this.

I didn't say he wasn't entitled to this own view. It's just that it's a 'brave' - in the Yes Minister sense - thing for him to do. Much like Corbyn is entitled to believe in what he has said - doesn't mean it's political wise.
