Extract

The year 2014 was one of turbulence, followed by huge reform plans with few, if any, results. Ministers resigned, parties left government, a new cabinet was formed and the Greens marched out of government. The planned municipal amalgamation ran out after a storm of protest, and so did the planned social and health reforms. All these shortcomings were good news for the opposition awaiting the coming election in 2015.
