Comedians and satirists relax. Your prayers have been answered. For the next four years you should never be short of material - Boris has been elected Mayor.Some observations;
* Both Boris and Ken have big 'personal' votes - given how badly the other results have been for Labour, would the London defeat have been greater if it had not been for Ken's personal support?
* If Ken had run as an 'Independent', as he had to in 2000, would he still be Mayor?
* Ken's speech following the defeat was very gracious - more so when you consider how ill-tempered some of the campaigning had been. If he had shown such graciousness and humility earlier, or during his time in office, would he still be Mayor?
All rather academic now - but let's strap ourselves in as the next four years could be entertaining.
