These 4 videos might explain what Lucinda and Eddie's new party is all about

Financial advisor Eddie Hobbs explains some of what the ‘Reboot Ireland’ party is all about.

A NEW POLITICAL party with no name and no specific policies was launched amid much scepticism last Friday.

After well over a year of speculation the former Fine Gael minister Lucinda Creighton announced that her new party would be up-and-running within two months with councillor John Leahy and well-known financial advisor Eddie Hobbs among those involved.

Hobbs told us today that thousands have registered interest on the Reboot Ireland website, but just what exactly will this new party be advocating?

In the course of a wide-ranging interview with TheJournal.ie he offered these insights:

Would this new party abolish USC?

Finally, is this new party left wing or right wing?
