What sort of ideas would you like her to present that would rock the boat a little, or mix things up?I agree that many old views should be remembered and respected, however this rememberance and respect should be reasoned, not just there for the sake of it. As many have noted here, one of the great things about having young people in politics is that they can rock the boat a little, mix things up with youthful enthusiasm and passion (not to say that these qualities are necessarily exclusive to youth). I don't see that being the case much in Blairs appointment, which IMO is a shame.
By saying that some old views should be remembered and respected suggests she is rocking the boat a little, that 'new' ideas are not always great ideas. Of course this might disturb those who feel they are part of 'the smartest generation' (it was ever thus) and that is novel as well.
