Mayor London - Election

Mayor London and local elections are taking place today and the main two candidates is Labour's Sadiq Khan and the Conservative candidate Zac Goldsmith. 

What I think should have been regular election campaign between these candidates has got very nasty. This was Zac Goldsmith has accused Sadiq Khan of sharing a platform with terrorists. 

Zac then wrote an article in the Mail and Sunday to try and get some votes. However the accompanying picture to this article was nothing short of disgraceful as they used a picture from the 7/7 terrorist attack that happened eleven years go. 

To me this was a particular turning point of the campaign and it highlighted the depth to which the Tories will go to secure that win. 

The polls suggest that Sadiq Khan should get a comfortable win. Howevver the last General Election all the polls were pointing to hung parliament and the Tories ended up getting a majority. So hopefully this time the polls are more accurate.
