is still propping up the coalition government that s kind of s.m.s. what we do get out of my what must we avoid telling us we don t have control and everything and governments are bad images links are contributed to the fact that issues that were asked to the populace didn t get through it didn t mention the stick that was the wrong place so let us get analysis from the dublin chief political correspondent melinda crane i welcome belinda so effectively to announcements that the chancellor started out as chair of her party and will not fight for the chancellorship of the next election so what do those two announcements mean for her party at this stage first of all for the party it means that it theoretically at least can begin to govern proactively rather than reactively and that. disentangle its fate and its future from the chancellor and begin to look toward the future rather to than toward the past she has become so
