Enda Kenny aims to bore us into voting for him

Like a war bride waving her husband off to battle, Tánaiste Joan Burton waved Enda Kenny off from the steps of Government Buildings yesterday.

“This is not the end,” he said as they shook hands awkwardly in front of the assembled media.

Joan and Enda have endured, rather enjoyed their working relationship, with the body language suggesting yesterday the two could barely tolerate being in each other’s company.
