Independents form alliance to offer New Vision for politics

A COHORT of independent candidates have banded together to form a political alliance which pledges to vote as a unit on four national issues if elected.

New Vision, which currently has 19 candidates, is promising to change the way politics operates, and wants to rail “against the power and might of those who have nearly destroyed us and our collective future”.

Made up of diverse names from Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan in Roscommon, David McCarthy in Cork, to two of its founders Eamon Blaney in Dublin North East and Nick Crawford in Dún Laoghaire, the organisation expects to have 25 candidates under its umbrella in the coming weeks.
