The Spectator

Use your vote because they’ll use theirs

Predictably, people are trying to derail the Tory nominating process for London Mayor. It’s an open primary, so the process is open to abuse—with the £1.50 charge unlikely to deter the committed.

These attempts at sabotage make it essential that those who actually want the best candidate selected do vote. London deserves a proper contest and it would be a disaster if this vote was hijacked; any candidate selected under such circumstances would be a laughing stock from day one and would have no hope against Ken Livingstone. Of course, we’d urge you to back The Spectator’s official candidate.
