This is going to be a lot closer than people were thinking earlier today, I really hope the Livingscum doesn't get it!

Where are you getting those numbers? Guardian and Evening standard have it at 44%/40%, and BBC are reporting that it's a lot closer than that.

The Guardian and Evening Standard are probably going on the possible second preferance and it will probably be extremely tight when they're taken into account. My figures are purely from the first preference.

Those constituencies which favour Boris report first. There was a report of a 9% swing in one, which would be a walkover for Ken.

44% to 40% in favour of Boris after 8.

How short memories clearly are if they want Livingstone back in (well, unless you sell wine to the man)...

[martin84]

This is going to be close.

Chuff. I sincerely hope Boris holds it.

Looks pretty certain it's going to a second round, that's for sure.

Out of interest, I've been away for the last week; what happened to the "London Mayor" thread? It seems to have disappeared.


Oli.

Cameron must be bricking himself. If Boris doesn't win he'll be on the ticket for the next by-election...

[Du1point8]

45.6 to 39% in favour of Boris after 9

[martin84]

45.6% after 9. Come on Boris!!!

[Gun]

If the Tories lose this as well CMD is screwed!

[martin84]

Its 6-4 to the Tories on the GLA

What were these issues with the UKIP candidate not putting their party on the ballot paper?

Didn't say 'UKIP - the party' in the text on the ballot sheet. Had the logo on it though, so it was pretty clear.
