POLITICAL BELIEFS OF THE MAYOR OF LONDON

Motion Text

That this House rejects the Greed is Good philosophy of the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, as expressed in his campaign for the Conservative Party leadership; fundamentally disagrees that it is futile to attempt to end inequality and that division and the spirit of envy are a valuable spur to economic activity; avers that there is no place for selective schooling in education; considers that building a further London airport in the Thames estuary would be economic and ecological madness; vows that there will be no return to the kind of bitterness and class warfare destructively visited on the country by Mr Johnson's idol, Margaret Thatcher; and urges the Mayor to concentrate on his present job rather than setting out his stall for his party's leadership after the 2015 election.
