Leo Varadkar suffers ratings drop as blame laid at his door, writes PatLeahyIT
But that’s a double-edged sword. As well as all that, Government also has responsibility for what happens, and what doesn’t happen. Governments, bluntly, get blamed for things.
For Fine Gaelers pondering the next election – and they all are – a very important question now presents itself: can their leader recapture the imagination of voters during an election campaign, or is he now forever just another politician trying to sell a message? The answer to that question may hold the key to the election. What really matters, after all, is not where the polls are: it’s where they’re going.
With no obvious route to government – the goal that she identified even before she became leader – it’s hard to see where McDonald’s second year is going. Yes, Fianna Fáil is treading water in this poll, with party support and Micheál Martin’s satisfaction rating both falling slightly, within the margin of error. But it will take encouragement from Fine Gael’s discomfort.
