Others like social services and immigration are not under his control. London once again has experienced a huge wave of immigration - this time from Poland. That is why many local resources in the boroughs of London are stretched to the limits. Red Ken could very little about that - very different to the Transvestites powers in New York City. Britain still has that binge drinking problem and it hasn't ben brought under control. All Labours social "conformity" laws didn't help either. The idea of the congestion charge was to reduce the amount of traffic in inner London - and it seems to have helped a bit. As you know from experience London isn't exactly a car city like many of your American ones - so the smallest traffic jam can bring the city to a stand still. @MrBaliHate: Ha, good to hear you an equal opportunity hater - so am I. ;-)

Even the Wikipedia article you linked to says that its effect hasn't been clear. I've spent a lot more time in London and it's surrounding areas than you have over the past couple of years, and it's turned into a real shithole. Aggressive drunks, garbage everywhere, unaffordable public transport, surveillance cameras everywhere, ridiculously high food and housing costs. This all happened on Labour's watch, and they're now being held responsible by the voters. That's how politics works.
