Hugo Rifkind’s got a superb article in the latest issue of the magazine, outlining what Britain’s political scene might look like ten years from now. It’s all a little tongue-in-cheek, but I’ve noted some of his predictions down, for reference. Here they are:
— George Osborne will be Prime Minister
— Davina McCall will be presenting the Today programme
— Boris will be Lord Johnson of Henley
— Oil will be at $600 a barrel
— Ruth Kelly will have been Labour leader
— David Miliband will have been Labour leader
— Ed Balls will have been Labour leader
— David Davis will have defected to UKIP
— Ken Livingstone will be Mayor of London
Which ones, if any, do CoffeeHousers think will come true? Any other suggestions about what politics in 2018 might look like?
