London 20?? Or Oui à PARIS??

The final report for the London 2012 Olympic bid was delivered today to the IOC ,and a press conference by lord Coe head of the London bid announced that London was ready .
But the problem with the London bid (and I would like it to take place in London) is that it lakes support on the national level and clear economic assurances. Look at the Paris bid its not a Paris bid its a French bid all of the people are behind it its turned in to a national cause with Chirac at the helm .
I think if London wants to host the Olympics they have to prove 2 things:
1. That this BIG project isn't another dome... Or a failed attempt to host a world gathering like the world athletics bid that was a disaster.
2. Turn the London bid into a UK bid with every body supporting it from the government and the queen to the cab drivers in London and all the cities of the UK let them be energiesed by it....Like the "footballs Coming Home" campaign of the euro cup in London a few years back.. Otherwise the IOC will be saying "Oui à PARIS"
