Government may be re-elected if they go to the polls in November

If Kenny waits until March he leaves too much time for something to go badly wrong, and not enough time to fix it, writes Alison O’Connor

THERE is something in the political air this week, something which has been absent for quite a while. It is the notion that the Government might get re-elected. Their best hope of ensuring that would be to have the general election in November.

It is a big decision, and not one you’d envy the Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, having to make, but if he waits until March he leaves too much time for something to go badly wrong, and not enough time to fix it.
