As the photo tagline says... "Boris: One of a kind in politics"
The man should definitely be PM one day!

Why if he were leading the conservitives I might consider moving to Britain and voting for them, just so that he'd be PM.

I too think Boris is a legend and would certainly make for a great leader. The country would undoubtedly be in a mess within hours - but what an entertaining few hours it would be...
I can do know better than paraphrase Boris himself..
'A lot of people assume that under this bumbling exterior is a highly professional heart of steel - but I put it to you that you ought not discount the notion that under this bumbling exterior lies an equally bumbling interior..'

Did anyone see Boris on Newsnight last night? He and his dad (who he's the spitting image of) were playing squash!

Hello all,
As we've mentioned before, in other threads, all discussions of this type might be seen as us showing bias and, as Mr. Johnson is the Conservative Party candidate for Henley, we'd be very grateful if you could put this discussion on hold until the polls close on 5th May. The discussions have gone really well so far without us concentrating on individual candidates and we don't want to have to start failing postings.
Thanks very much,
h2g2 Editors

He is a politician that I take an interest in. Mainly because I have a modest bet running at the bookies that he will be photographed falling off his bike at some point this year. That seemed quite good value at 11/4
