Can you guess the name of the UKIP Mayoral Candidate in London?

A Race to the Bottom: The Weird World of the 2021 London Mayoral Election

Since the first contest back in 2000, the London Mayoral elections have attracted some of the more colourful personalities from the fringes of political life – and this year’s contest looks like a bumper offering.

The smorgasbord of talent runs from the incumbent Mayor, Labour’s Sadiq Khan – currently enjoying a whopping 26-point lead over his nearest rival – to former boxers, recidivist deposit losers, religious evangelists, vloggers, comedians, failed actors-turned-failed singers, conspiracy theorists, a man with a bucket on his head, and a drill MC from south London in a balaclava.

Running for Mayor isn’t cheap. Even before candidates can start campaigning, they are required to put down a £10,000 deposit and pay another £10,000 to get their manifesto in the booklet that is sent to every London home. To get the deposit back, they have to win 5% of the vote. But, of the 19 candidates running in this May’s election, four look likely to secure a 95% share in the first round – meaning that the other 16 candidates are quite likely in it simply to lose it.

As a Londoner, I wanted to know who these people are, what their motives might be, and what all this might say about the state of our capital in CoronaBrexit times.
