La presse britannique très orientée

A la veille des élections londoniennes, Boris Johnson et Ken Livingstone jouent au coude à coude, soutenus ou dénigrés par une presse débridée qui affiche ouvertement ses opinions politiques. La presse qui a pris le parti de Boris (Daily Telegraph, the Times, the London Evening Standard...) décrit Ken comme un grand-père littéralement en fin de carrière, voire en fin de vie.
Quant à Boris, le Guardian ou le Daily Mirror par exemple, n'hésitent pas à le ridiculiser en ewposant ses postures ou ses attitudes comme ridicules. Bref, la presse joue un rôle très important dans ces élections. Cette élection est susceptible d'orienter ou non le vote de ses électeurs.

Sondage à Notting Hill

Tuesday April the 29^th we walked a long time to find a good place to collect some politicals views about the elections. We interviewed teenagers, people in their forties and older people. We have seen that Boris and Ken are by far frontrunners ahead of the others, Brian Paddick a long way after them and Sian Berry at the bottom end. Besides, we did our interview in Notting Hill : Boris Johnson's district. Now we know that Boris Johnson is the favourite candidate in this borough, however Ken is not far behind 60 against 40% so, let's the surprise go. About votes motives, there are currents red lines about transport, security. It's certainly revealing a problem about expensives transports prices even in a wealthy borough.

Sian berry

She is a candidate to the mayor's elections and she represents the green party .

She wants to change London for good ,but she is not as popular as Ken and Boris .

We have made a research on the web to compare how often the candidates are mentioned .

And we have made a poll , 5 persons in 20 know her ,but just one knows her program

The London election's day is arriving! Conflicts are numerous. Yesterday April 28th, during the candidates debate, tensions were to be felt. Ken was energized and Boris took an acid joke in his face.

It adds with his 13 points lost in stats, Boris, we want to believe! What about others candidates ? Now we know they won't be elected but Ken and Boris need their voters second choice to secure victory.

Boris : a golden name

"The Sunday Times reported Ms Jowell told senior figures they would pay £5 each time they used his [Boris Johnsons] first name."
