Recently I have been taking more and more of an interest in politics, I suppose because it effects you more from day to day the older you get and the more you become involved in your community.
What I have noticed this week, is dare I say it, "the old boys brigade" syndrome in a number of parties. I am not referring to actions or even lack of, but actual age! RTE highlighted this fact very well in yesterday evenings news with Finn Gael coming to the forefront in this category.... grey hair and matching suits were the order of the day.
I also find it hard to believe that the other parties expect the public to believe that the temporary emergence of some "fresh young faces" on the scene just before the elections will sway the 20-something voter when all we will see for the duration of the next government are the same tired, old and well lets face it past it TD's.
