Now that the economic crisis starts labour say that it depends not on what happens in their country but in the world and, crucially, of the USA. Also argue that United Kingdom is better prepared than before since the rate of unemployment, inflation, and interest is not as high as it was when the crisis hit the previous Conservative Government. However, the conservatism appears questioning a Government that is managing a recession and accuses whom of have heightened spending so much money. The Tories say that while U.S. and other powers try to confront the economic downturn by reducing taxes and giving incentives to free enterprise, Brown increases taxes (the ones that are not to large fortunes but to consumers). Cameron-Johnson when binomial starts the final month in the race to elect the London Borough, conservatives come with ten points of advantage in the polls. The main daily for the city of London, the Evening Standard, long since is an open campaign to lie to Livingstone who they accuse of corrupt, camarillero and manipulative. While polls this published show that Johnson will widely win the first and second round, AM, the free financial daily newspaper of London, argues that the business world joins after Johnson and that he has a strong advantage in betting.

Johnson has in his favor be riding with the blue tide that has been growing after the labor decline. On the other hand, both he and David Cameron, have been elected in elections internally competing with other rivals. Gordon Brown, on the other hand, prevented an internal election in his party. Then he would not call a general election and recently just veto go to a referendum on the new European Treaty of Lisbon, despite a previously promised that it would go to a plebiscite to approve or not a EU Constitution. Livingstone was not proclaimed in an internal candidate and is accused of authoritarianism.
