It remains to be seen when Fianna Fáil will decide that it makes sense — from a purely selfish political point of view — to plunge the country into a general election. Given how dysfunctional our political system has been since February of last year, perhaps the earlier we have an election the better.
The risk, of course, is that we just end up with the same sort of government, with Fine Gael swapping deck chairs with Fianna Fáil being the only cosmetic difference and nothing much would change in terms of political governance.
