Wow! That make us wonder how Sweden(and Germany?) are advanced and sophisticated in technological policies over the rest of us; They got people from the pirate-party elected to the congress already? look at the all the issues they are discussing, and the high-level of the discussions..

Meanwhile, our governments or are in bed with the corporations or are unprepared to deal with their lobby in a way that dont hurt people, innovation, fair competition and democracy..

She has an X ray vision to this complicated issue and make someone who understand all the danger that come from this evil game of monopoly, feel more safe to have a good and prepared parliament to defend the interests of the people the way she is doing..

I think that is an example of what our democracies need to breath a new, revigorating air, and get stronger again with the faith and trust of the people

If you think politics in Europe (at the local, national and european level) doesn't have political corruption, I've got a bridge I can sell you.


ha! ok.. That's definitely spread all over the world, unfortunately we are not free from the spooks yet.. but what i meant is that they are a step further.. and think that countries with stronger industries and big lobby groups will have a hard time to elect and create real politics that can benefit the interests of the population in the digital rights ground..

So its not that they are not suffering from the same diseases of the democracies all over the world.. its the observation that by electing this class of representatives, prepared for the XXI century and the digital age, they are more prepared against those evil and corrosive effects on governments imposed by a industry formed in the XX century and with a hard time to adapt to new times


She's a member of the European Parliament, not the Swedish. That said, as far as I know we tend to have more heterogenous members in our parliaments, here in Europe.
