The Government’s reform of politics has been negligible, writes Michael Clifford

AT TIMES like these, the media can lose the run of itself. All week the chatter out of Leinster House was “will he, won’t he, call a November election”. Does anybody who lives beyond the political bubble really care?

Sure, there is a cohort that can’t wait to rush to polling booths to express their anger or disappointment at this Government. There is another grouping that want the damn thing out of the way so the present incumbents — or at least the senior coalition party — can bag five more years and continue as they have started.
