Paywalled.... 
It's all in the opening sentence
"Nigel Farage is a game-changing politician and The Times Briton of the Year"I'd say the article is a double edged sword as it goes on to say he was 2010's big loser and 2014's big winner but the big question will be 2015. Last 2 paras:
. . . The established political parties have not been able to ignore Ukip, however, whatever they may think of its more toxic members. Just as in the first half of the parliament Mr Farage’s threat to the Tory vote forced Mr Cameron to promise an EU referendum, his advances in 2014 have forced Mr Miliband to pay more attention to the concerns of heartland Labour voters who worry about immigration.
The year 2014 may turn out to be Ukip’s high point. As the general election approaches, surging support for the Scottish nationalists could elbow Mr Farage from the limelight. After the election he may decide to spend more time with his cigarettes and pints. For the moment, however, no one did more to shape British politics in 2014. For good and ill he is therefore The Times Briton of the Year
I'd copy and paste it all but irritatingly it'll take multiple copies the way they've mixed it up
