The newly-registered party have made their electoral debut with a respectable 7% in Meath East, yet if they are to become a creditable nationwide party, voters will need to know what exactly they actually stand for. So far, all we know is that DDI want to introduce a system whereby referenda can be held through public petition, similar to Switzerland, and also to recall underperforming TDs (it's unclear what criteria this would be judged by). Perhaps there is a desire for a new party, but if DDI aim to fill the vacuum, they'll need to put some major flesh on the bones of their policies.
