Rising Stars
Reshuffle speculation has reached fever-pitch with Liberal Democrat Voice publishing the outcome of their poll of party members as to which Lib Dem MP should be promoted.
The top three in that poll are Jo Swinson, Julian Huppert and David Laws. Which interestingly coincides almost exactly with the two Liberal Democrats that the Guardian have highlighted as part of their ten rising stars of the coalition article in today's paper.
Only Julian Huppert is missing from their profile and I suspect that is because he has made a bigger impact with the Liberal Democrat geeks than with the hardened journos of the Westminster lobby.
What nobody is saying is which Liberal Democrats Ministers will be stepped down to make room for them. I am glad it is not my decision.
