what qualities does one need to be a successful senior politician in Ireland?
2017 GE down to 5/4 with PP but still 2018 is favourite. All the same such an inspired run from way behind should be brought to the attention of the stewards - look for strange betting trends etc.I had resigned myself to losing my bet on a 2017 election - but with the gardaí, the Department of Justice and politicians being politicians, it seems that there may be a final twist in the road.
1) A desperate desire to be liked.
2) The ability to claim responsibility for anything good that happened with a straight face, even though you had nothing to do with it.
3) A fondness for turning up at funerals where nobody knows you.
4) The brass neck to resist calls to resign in the face of overwhelming evidence of incompetence.

It's an excellent summary of the whole issue.I think Katie Hannon's blog is a reasonable summary - I find her commentary generally to be measured and factual.
