If so, you are deluded.
I think that there are people out there who voted for Boris who wouldn’t have if he hadn’t intervened in such a dramatic fashion. Not necessarily your typical socialists, mind, I'm referring to more well-heeled Londoners with a liberal agenda.
It’s important to look more closely at Boris’ voter base. For a Tory, he seems to enjoy an unusual level of support across all social classes. This is mostly to do with his character and personality, but also his persistent attempts to disassociate himself with the parliamentary Conservative Party, which is considered toxic by most people in more socially-deprived areas of London. What you must understand is that, for Boris, it’s all about him; win at all costs. He does this by appealing to as larger voter base as possible. Sadly, in my view, the gay bandwagon is very popular with the masses at the moment, and when Boris spotted the opportunity to champion their cause and prevent the desecration of iconic London buses, right before polling day, it was just too good to miss.
So yes, the decision to attack the Christian campaign was pretty much motivated by Boris’ desire to appease the liberal left.
