Thinking about the future

The last post of the year (no, I'm not done with the review of the year) features this one of the tower of Christiansborg, where the Danish parliament resides, and with a sculpture thinking. The last day of the year is good time to reflect on the future. Hopefully the current economic crisis in the world will be solved, but I guess it will demand a lot of thinking, a lot of deciding and a lot of action. Unfortunately that is not the three things the current crop of politicians are best at. And with that gloomy thought I wish you all a happy New Year, I hope all your wishes come through and that you and your family may prosper despite all.

The Young Ones

Attracting young voters have been a key priority of the parties fighting the 2011 election here in Denmark. The use of social media such as Facebook and Twitter is ubiquitous and the message seems to say "An informed public is the basis of legitimate government."

Many young candidates are in line to be selected to the Folketinget and this will change the demography of the decision makers even more.
