Enda will drown under Irish Water debacle just like King Canute

Ironically this Government and Enda Kenny, in particular, are beginning to resemble not so much a party in disarray but as a king in distress. That king is King Canute. 

Sat on his coastline with his hand up trying to command the sea. But the angry tide has turned against Fine Gael and the futility of concessions being bandied about will not be enough to hold the waves back.

Canute is doomed, doomed by the very element he tried so disastrously to control: water. From the moment this Government guillotined the Water Bill in the Dáil the process has been dogged by criticism and angry response. The rushing through of that bill, without any proper debate, has resulted in confusion and anger among government ranks. Now it is plain for one and all to see what happens when blatant disregard is shown to the democratic process.
