So this is Questions and Answers with a different title and presenter?
Looking forward to this.
Will it be 'light and breezy'?Originally Posted by DCon
A demagogue is someone who will preach doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.

Lets hope its not!
Things Id like to see from this show :
- No more Mister nice guy. Kenny is in attack dog mode throughout. No waffling or spewing out the party line unhindered. Go for the neck Pat, like a Badger and dont let go til they stop wiggling.
- No party hacks in the audience. Instead, put in ordinary citizens and PAYE workers. It could be the only time a lot of Politicos get to hear we have to say.
- Limit the panel numbers. 5 was just too much. Q&a always seemed to have one token guest who contributed little(remember Louis Walsh? Pffft!)
- Mix up the panel from time to time. Dont keep bring back the some ol faces. Vincenzo is doing something similar. One day a week, its a lucky dip panel.
Kenny will talk for at least 40% of the airtime.
"ordinary People" will be asked to comment and then ignored as Kenny explains what they were going to say.
We will have to wait until after the Lisbon vote, NAMA, Budget, and the next general election before RTE dares to have anything approaching political debate that involves the Public again.
