Race in still on… for a single party Fine Gael government

E-DAY minus 11, and we’re really down to the nitty-gritty of General Election 2011. By common consent, and based on the history of such campaigns worldwide, this is the week of any campaign in which the die is finally cast, if it hasn’t been already.

Like so much current political commentary however, that is based on the presumption that our campaign is the same as, or similar to, other previous campaigns, here and elsewhere.

But is it? Most definitely not, I’d suggest.
