Up and down in the polls

A chara, – As the latest polls show, there’s something of the funicular railway about the relationship between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil.

Each time one of them drops in popularity, its downward momentum pulls the other to the top, at which point the whole process invariably starts again, only in reverse. – Yours, etc,
