I am asking how will the change you seek occur if you don’t make that change happen?

One of the problems (just my opinion) is that the Irish public focus on the wrong things very often. People will spend more time debating Stephen Donnolly and the trampoline comment or Snodaigh and the printer ink than anything of any substance.

Despite the remakably political partisan landscape of all aspects of Irish social media, all the parties actually hit the same totemic notes of:

• Broadly socialist welfare state approach (without much eye on effectiveness of the management of such) with deregularised private industry,
• Being pretty nationalistic (with some constitutional irredentist ambitions)
• Being in favour of being in the EU, but pretending to have a much larger role in its governance than is the reality.
• Being, for want of a better word, "nice". Or rather looking nice. This involves a whole heap of empty international gestures "free palestine woo" to a lack of planning (Ukrainians in tents). Domestically it involves throwing money at a problem and looking the other way
  

And quite honestly I think that any party that didn't play this tune would be unelectable.
