00:00 I think the next mayoral election will be the closest ever for two main reasons.
00:04 One is because the government's changed the voting system.
00:06 For the first time ever it's first past the post.
00:09 So there are no second preferences if you're a green or a lid voter.
00:13 And the second reason is because the government's introduced photo ID.
00:17 15% of Londoners haven't got photo ID. That's 900,000 voters.
00:22 Black Londoners, black Asian, maori-ethnic Londoners, younger Londoners, disabled Londoners.
00:26 It's going to be a tight race.
00:28 I'm really worried about people not realising that the voting system's changed.
00:32 Not realising the need for photo ID.
00:35 But I also know from friends of mine who are green or who are Lib Dems
00:39 that they think they can vote them first, me second.
00:42 You can't now. The government's changed the rules.
