Well, there was only 60000 votes between the two of them so it was pretty close. I'd love to think that the London electorate finally had enough of Kens gaffes (such as his tax avoidance, his repeated, unpleasant comments about London's Jewish community, his paid television work for the holocaust denying, propgandist Press TV, is willingness to screw Labour over at several times in the past couple of years when it suited him, his support for several deeply unpleasant dictators and goverments, his need to surrounded himself with a gang of hardcore trot idiots and his indulgence of cronyism....sorry....forgot myself for a moment...
) but I know, deep down, they voted for Boris because he hasn't done a bad job and comes across as quite personable.
Also, don't forget, Boris has distanced himself from the Tories, to a certain extent. That probably helped him a lot as well.
