Take your time. Leo is the leader of a different jurisdiction and his caretaker gov. is doing well and it is reflected in that poll. I would imagine he'd be in the same position in a poll here...maybe higher, if the same question was asked.

FrancieBrady wrote: » The point being that MON of SF and RObert Swann of the UUP are seen to be performing better than Boris and Arlene in their positions and area of responsibilities. What do you think the point is?

MON of SF and RObert Swann of the UUP are performing better than Boris Johnson of the Tory's and Arlene Foster of the DUP in their area of responsibility and positions. Leo Varadkar is performing very well in his. That would tally with my opinion actually. Is there anything else to 'compare'?

FrancieBrady wrote: » They are not 'comparing' Leo with the rest of them. Because Leo is neither a leader in NI or Britain nor is his area of responsibility NI or Britain. They might as well have added Trump there. So other than it showing that SF's MON and the UUP's Robert Swann performing better than Arlene of the DUP and Boris of the Tory's, is there anything else I'm missing?

Why would there be a comparison with somebody who adopted a different regime than they did, in a DIFFERENT jurisdiction?
