Election for Mayor of London coming to a close

London Mayor elections are in final lap now... with all the campaigning and debates it's more like a presidential election for them.

Months of fierce rivalry come to a head for Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson as Londoners deliver their verdict at the polls.

The Tory challenger has given Mr Livingstone his closest run since the job was set up in 2000 and both candidates have acknowledged it is neck and neck.

The results of Thursday's election will have repercussions beyond London as Mr Livingstone's first defeat would be a major psychological blow to Labour and Gordon Brown.

Question Time the three candidates



Anyhow plenty more clips on youtube.. thought you might find them interesting.

There's a FaceBook group - "Official Petition to make Boris Johnson the next Doctor Who".
Exit on the right in the direction of travel.
