> London may elect it's first Muslim mayor

That's the first sentence in the piece. Complete with grammatical inexactitude.

Although, in fairness, that's not the worst bit of English in the article.

I'm quite interested in knowing why this is on HN front page. Not because the lack of tech or VC in the subject matter, just that it's so dreadfully poor and content light.

Possibly helped to the front page by it being morning in the UK when it appeared - right in time for people to check HN before the working day.

I agree that it's a content-light article, so post what you find to be better links in the comments - I have.

Agreed. However, if you're going to correct someone's grammar on the Internet, may I suggest that you use correct grammar yourself, per http://grammarist.com/usage/as-per/.

I be capital too since "it" refers to London?

Done
