How will Livable Ireland do this?

The current 'access not ability' system of career politicians needs to become a thing of the past. Governance needs to evolve to the next level - whatever that maybe. Politics will always involve compromise but tough decisions need to be made. Recent events have shown that a two term leader rule needs to be brought in to ensure Government remains fresh. Debate should not be about what's left and right but what's right and wrong. To do this we need to evolve a strategy before putting a structure in place.

Livable Ireland will create a forum for the public good which will rise above politics to seek the national interest without regard to party, class or lobby. Our priorities will be to re-engage people with politics by focusing on causes not effects, being proactive not reactive by creating a forum for debate on core themes not issues, which are complimentary not competing in an integrated policy. Doing so will awaken people to the fact that Ireland has evolved into an open economy with a closed political system.

The experts say that all 'politics is local' and 'politics is all about the 3 M's - message, momentum and means'. At Livable Ireland each of us understand that no one individual is going to change Ireland for us. Each of us have to play our part in changing it ourselves. As a society we have become more aware of our rights while selectively acknowledging our responsibilities. At Livable Ireland we are committed to fully recognising both. We acknowledge that your time is your most valuable resource. If you have an expertise in a particular area we would love to hear your views and ideas. Unlike the current batch of politicians we do not pretend to have all the answers.
