A government crisis for a government in crisis

El Pais on line includes the following headline on the current crisis of government, Zapatero worn flanks strengthens the government . There is no doubt that, in effect, the dismissal of ministers and Magdalena Álvarez and Pedro Solbes is a potential boost the image of Zapatero's government, already too damaged after only one year of training.

However, if (and only if) we measure the wear of the ministers from his popularity in the polls, the current government crisis is not the best that could have made Zapatero. The 5 lower than it would have reported greater benefits to its image are (according to the CIS): Magdalena Álvarez (of course), Bibiana Aido, Beatriz Corredor, Miguel Pedro Solbes and Sebastian. With the removal of these ministers had Zapatero succeeded in raising the average score of 4.2 government a 4.6 (of course, not including assessments of the new ministers have not met yet). In contrast, waiting to note that the English give Pepe Blanco y cia., The current government crisis leaves the executive with a very slight improvement in their grade point average (of 4.4).

Thus, if the government function as a reality show, the audience had decided not to continue in some government ministers have finally consegir maintain your portfolio. But of course there are other more substantive reasons that justify the names of the ministers affected by a government crisis. Therefore, this entry serves as a mere curiosity and not as a critical basis for the decision of the President ... lest then return back to The excess carpet sympathize with government opinion polls.
