Boris leads primary race by 60 percent

Conservative Home’s monthly survey of members reveals that Boris is well ahead of the pack in the race to become Mayor of London. Amongst London members, Boris has 70 percent support while his nearest challenger Andrew Boff is on 10 percent. Of course, the primary is open to non-Tories too. But one has to assume that Boris’s lead will only grow when they are taken into account: his high-profile and maverick reputation means that he must be favourite to sweep up most of those votes.
