The last few weeks of politics in this little place we call home have felt particularly bruising, although you might rightly ask yourself when is it ever not? Far from moving forwards, it feels like we're going backwards and it begs the question of where do we go from here? There is an old phrase in politics that says if you don't like the outcomes of the meeting, change the people in the room. In little over a year, we will be in the midst of the election for the next Northern Ireland Assembly. Short of another NI21, we will be presented with the same choice of parties, but perhaps it's time to see some new faces stepping up to lead.
