Enda is a winner, so what’s the problem?

THE last time Fianna Fáil got over 45% in an election was in the early 1980s, while even during the ‘Celtic Myth’ years it failed to get over 40%.

Is The X Factor considered less of a ratings winner in 2010 because it ‘only’ gets about 12 million viewers compared to the 20 million shows like Morecambe and Wise used to get in the early 1980s.

The days of an Irish political party getting 50% or anything like it are long gone, and those who think Fine Gael ought to be getting that level of support need to wake up.
