Frank Luntz and Frank Opinion on RTE 1

This second episode of Frank's Luntz's Week in Politics Special "Frank Opinion" was not as fascinating as the previous one.

Perhaps it is familiarity with the process or the lack of personal focus this time round but the programme was not as informative or as entertaining as the last one.

There was nothing new in the programme, people are unhappy with the health service and crime, don't credit the government for prosperity and seem tired of Bertie but unsure of the alternatives.

The Opposition get criticised for lack of proposals and are perceived as negative on the issues while the government are seen as reacting to crises and not leading.

But did we really need Frank Luntz to tell us all that? One hopes the next episode will be a return to form.
