And if proof were needed that our democracy is broken, the people have elected as Mayor of London a man whom no sane person would put in charge of a small pink pebble (edit: I beg your pardon, Libertarians might), in preference to someone who has, I am reliably told, managed real improvements in his term of office, and whom Tony Blair cordially disliked as well (what more recommendation could one need?).

My sympathies go out to the people of London. And to all of us, if this is a foreshadowing of what will happen in the next General Election.

My knowledge of Johnson from other reliable sources bears this piece out completely. Whatever you may understand by "Libertarian," this is what he is.
