Labour, obviously, and there's a lot that's really impressive about Lammy, but isn't he also the one who claimed that Indians who died in World War II died for 'the European project'?

Lammy is "the one" who gets misquoted a lot. A big vulnerability in a local election like Mayor, but it can be a net positive nationally.

Will the last Liberal out please turn off the lights?

[Kingpoleon]

Have people seen Goldsmith? The man is a bloody racist who didn't pay tax for most of his adult life

And we have the first partisan Labourite!

Now we just need a Tory to come in and question Lammy's "past comments and upbringing".

To those of you disputing the leaders: this was an idea based off a future in which devolution is the most major issue nationally, and so the two major parties both have London-centric leaders, mainly for their clear stance on devolution.

Lol

At which part?

As far as Goldsmith goes, he narrowly lost to Khan(within 1%) and proceeded to run for PM after internal polls showed him crushing everyone but Osborne one-on-one. Lammy unites the more leftist Blairites and Co-operatives with minority and labor union votes against Corbyn follower Tom Watson and Patricia Glass.

I'm sorry, what?

Watson is pretty obviously going to become the Brown to Corbyn's Blair, just of the left side of the party. Sometimes the best fighters are those who used to oppose you.

As for Glass, she has a pretty distinct appeal to Co-operative/Liberal Democrats/Greens for her McCain-like "maverick" stances. I included her just so I could have a reason for a potential future poll of the 2030 election of this.

If anything Watson is closer to a Prescott type role (he's quite popular on the right, and among brownites, just not the weird ultra Blairites) However, unlike Prescott he wants to be leader

I thought I understood that. Do you not see him falling in line with Corbyn over time?

Again, I'm not saying he's a "Corbynite" now. I'm saying I see him easily becoming one, either due to Corbyn's influence, gaining Corbyn's voter group, or some combination thereof. Maybe I'm just underestimating how solidly Labour Right he will always be.
