God help us if this is what awaits us after the next election.
Such as?It's a new political system that we need,
Interesting idea. I think they do this in the US. I've seen the negative adverts rattling on about a particular Congressman's voting record, so I guess they don't always vote on party lines.Abolish party politics for a start. I think the current system whereby party members have to tow the line and vote alone party lines even though they may have a different view is flawed.
You can't bar anyone from participating based on their family connections. They have every right to participate, and be judged on the same basis as everyone else. I'm not sure that this is really down to dynasties - just that those in the family pick up on the buzz. You see the same in GAA clubs and many voluntary organisations too.Abolish family politics. The system where the son or daughter takes over the role of their political parent in my opinion is wrong. Same family opinions recycled time and time again. We need some new blood so to speak in Irish politics
We need a system where TD's are educated in the area that they are responsible. For example the Minister for Finance should be an economist, the Minister for Health should be a Health Professional, the Minister for Education should be a Teacher etc. In short they should know what they're taking about.
