Radio presenter James Whale has announced his candidature to become the UK Independence Party candidate for the 2008 London Mayoral elections.
According to Whale “London will have a completely different vibe” if he beats current Mayor Ken Livingstone. UKIP Leader Nigel Farage claimed Whale “not only has guts, but an understanding of what real people think.”
Meanwhile the BBC quote a party spokesperson as saying “if people want politicians who simply say the same things as other politicians, they can vote for Ken Livingstone or Steve Norris.”
