Race so far has been generic, dull and unimaginative

IT’S been interesting to hear the merits of democracy bandied about during the reality show that the race for the Áras has become.

It’s particularly interesting when you think that the last time the democratic process was employed to elect a President was 14 years ago. I was 15.

So despite now being almost 30, I have never been given the opportunity to have my say in democratically electing someone to the highest office in the land.
