why wouldn't i want to live in Belfast or Poland? too few terrorists attacks, too few gangs, too low price of living, schengen with easy access to most of the Europe?

i would much more preferred those two cities instead of overpriced multicultural London with Muslim mayor

I was ready to agree with you until I saw the remark about the "Muslim mayor". What does his religion have to do with anything?

nothing really, I just think mayor of city should represent majority of population and be one of them and yes I am aware majority (in theory, not really familiar with attendance of voters) voted for him

"why wouldn't i want to live in Belfast ... too few terrorists attacks"

My, how times have changed. I remember walking around parts of Belfast using the colours painted on the kerbs to check I wasn't straying into an area where my accent would get me in trouble.

that part was mainly about Poland, I am familiar with Belfast part, but still nowadays it's probably safer and less exposed to terrorism threat than London

Ah you were doing so well and I'd almost agree with you as a Londoner until you hit me with Muslim mayor. Frankly I'd much rather him than most of the flat out lying Oxford PPE scum.

yeah I was thinking if I should include it, nothing really against him, but it just confirm the multicultural issues per se, I would expect mayor will be at least from major group of population (and yes I know in Berlin they had gay mayor and once again, I have nothing against gays, but still think some position should be occupied by people representing majority, same as certain German childless chancellor who apparently don't care much about future of German children...)

Great well for what it's worth I'm a "multicultural minority" and you're most welcome to express your views through the democratic process if you are Londoner. Evidently, Londoners don't discriminate based on such irrational nonsense and therefore he does, by democratic definition, represent the "majority". Unless, of course, you were imply a representative "racial majority" in which case I have no words to say to you in a civil manner on this forum.

he represents majority of those few voters who bothered to vote, not majority of population or even majority of eligible population

You've clearly not spent any time in London. Your ignorance is showing.

I have also never jumped out from 15th floor of building to know the result
