Has our political system hit rock bottom?

A national government will never happen or not till it’s too late because it would break the fundamental rule of politics: do not deal with a crisis until the water is sloshing around the kitchen floor.

But many of us now believe that this Government is incapable of not shooting itself in its ‘feet’.

We have had an electorally-slanted budget that is now in bits. What if the national recovery strategy goes pear-shaped? There is no second chance for Paddy, who cannot run his own affairs without a nanny.
