As we embark on 2015, Rob Comba asks which political figures will see their stock rise and fall over the next twelve months.
Patrick Sullivan from Parliament Street, Labour List’s Conor Pope and Tom Mludzinski from ComRes join him to give their thoughts.
From a Tory perspective, who’s going to be the stand out figure?
Patrick says the one to watch is Sajid Javid.
Will Boris Johnson have a big year in 2015?
Patrick believes the hype about Boris Johnson is overplayed and that he takes the limelight away from others.
What about Labour, what’s going to happen to Ed Miliband?
Conor thinks Ed Miliband would be the real winner from 2015, particularly, of course, if Labour are victorious in the election.
The Times made Nigel Farage their Briton of the Year in 2014.
Is it going to be another good twelve months for Nigel Farage?
Tom says it could well be as he as very little to lose and a lot to gain from the election.
Who are our panelists’ predicted losers and winners from 2015?
Conor: Winner – Ed Miliband (or possibly Andy Burnham)
Loser – Nigel Farage, Nick Clegg or David Cameron
Tom: Winner – Boris Johnson (or possibly Alex Salmond)
Loser: Nick Clegg
