Cosmetic change is not enough

DURING last week I watched the Vincent Browne show.

On Wednesday, he had four guests who were candidates running for public office for the first time. One Labour, one Fine Gael, one People before Profit, and one Independent.

I naturally was looking for, and hoping for, new, creative ideas from these untainted candidates. Two issues were raised from among the four candidates — tax the rich and renegotiate the IMF deal. And that was it.
