Its hard to say how much influence JC has had with the latest focus on public sector pay and more widely with austerity, but I don't think there'd be the focus on this right now without him. Of course you could say he's tapping into public sentiment that was there anyway. Putting aside whether you like him or not or what you think of his policies he's certainly changed the latest political debate to something more of his own choosing/area of safer ground for him.
That's not bad for someone not long ago thought of as a political disaster, I wonder if anyone in the labour MPs thought they'd be where they are now last year?
