Betrayed by Sîan Berry

It emerges that Ken Livingstone and Sîan Berry are to become mutual 'running mates' and call on their supporters to give second preference votes to each other in the London Mayoral Election (single transferable vote) in May. http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/mar/18/london08.politicalnews
So prolonging the autocratic reign of the man who defends the Met's actions when Jean Charles de Menezes was shot, and declares confidence in Sir Ian 'yee-hah I can do whatever I like' Blair.
Only days after Lib Dem mayoral candidate Brian Paddick revealed he was sinecured by Sir Ian because the latter suspected him of having blown the whistle on his early knowledge of what had happened (Mail on Sunday).
The man who also supported Gordon Brown's coronation following Blair, invited a sexist homophobic Islamic cleric to London, all but killed the beloved Routemaster bus, presided over TfL's lying about the benefits of bendy buses and fiddling traffic lights to make the Congestion Charge appear better than it was, Central London congestion now close to pre-CC levels with all the Kensingtoners who can now drive in, now admitting lots of smaller cars in for nothing, fobbed off the London Assembly when they had questions over Lee Jasper, operates the only city council with a foreign policy, fleeces tourists and visitors to London if they don't get an oystercard as soon as they arrive, compared a journo who was probing a reception for Chris Smith MP paid for by Londoners' taxes to a concentration camp guard, then attacks the newspaper group who he has formerly worked for.
Is Berry so blinded by her loathing of 4x4s that she cannot acknowledge there are any other issues to think about?
