Is our democracy under threat?

Is our democracy under threat?
General election in Sweden on Sunday. This was the scene at "plattan" at Sergels torg a few days ago. Representatives from all the major political parties in Stockholm in an election debate. The democracy question from Anders Bolling surprised all of them, and no one said a word...

They look like they were in a TV quiz show answering questions.

In that respect, we live in troubled times.

It is tough to be a politician. There's lot of people out there that don't have any respect.

That's one they should have thought through.

Agh. No one said anything?? Well, in the USA there would have been a lot of pontificating. Maybe I should move to Sweden. I have learned a few words of Swedish, but of course at the moment I can't tell you a one. And some of them were really good expressive words. Ah well, I'm old.

Stefan Jansson said...

Sure does.

Stefan Jansson said...

Always be prepared, that would have been my way of doing it.

Ha ha. A bit like that. Casual.
