ELECTION 2010: AGENCY BOSSES’ VERDICT


05.05.10 Posted in Politics and Public Affairs by Betty Patricia

As polling-day nears, Public Affairs News asked 32 agency bosses five questions:

1) Who will be PM at the State Opening of Parliament?
2) Labour politician to watch?
3) Conservative politician to watch?
4) Lib Dem politician to watch?
5) Select committee to watch?
We also asked them: ‘What would a hung Parliament mean for the PA professionals?’

Graham McMillan – Chief executive, Open Road
1) Clegg (just kidding). David Cameron as headof a minority government.
2) Chuka Umunna (Streatham). Great guy, highly talented and going places.
3) Shaun Bailey (Hammersmith). Highly talented and close to the leadership. Assuming he wins the seat, he will be a rising star.
4) Jo Swinson (East Dunbartonshire) is an extremely effective campaigner and will come into her own in her second Parliament, building on her experience as an MP in the last.
5) The Treasury select committee – as the economy, reducing the deficit and reforming the banks and financial regulation take centre stage.
