The
latest unseemly row over the provision of the funding for free school
meals for infants should come as no surprise to any of us in the run
up to next year’s general election.
What
we are witnessing is an arranged marriage between two partners that
were really never well suited, and that has pretty much run its
course. Each is caught up in a marital contract that neither is
really comfortable with, mostly putting a brave face on it. Every now
and again one side wants to exert their influence, by starting the
petty name calling, in an effort to persuade others to take their
side, as they move ever closer to the inevitable divorce. As many who
were witness to the partnership knew from the beginning, it will only
end in tears.
