Political scientist Prof Selwyn Ryan writes in his Sunday Express Column:"The ministerial experience is a new and heady one. Every minister (in the People's Partnership government) wants to shine and strut his/her stuff.
"Some are naturally garrulous and seem surprised that they are where they are; others are just naïve about what it takes to govern a country such as ours, which is not easily disciplined. Few also know anything about the folkways of the public service.
"We, however, need to remind ourselves that the People's Partnership is a coalition, and that coalitional politics differs fundamentally from politics in which there are unitary parties led by maximum leaders. Manning was right when he characterised coalitions as being potentially unstable."
