USE IT OR LOSE IT!

It's coming up to voting time again in Sweden and actually I thank that I am unable to vote because it gives my conscience a get out of jail free card. I wouldn't dream of having the ability to be active in my local/national political situation and not acting. But, as I'm not a registered voter in Sweden and am not yet allowed to be one...phew.

Why "phew"? Well....it's because I don't get it all yet, despite studying and reading up on everything, I still don't get it all. I even did a test recently to tell me which way I should vote and I ended up being somewhere between the right and the Pirate Party...which is everything I hate.

I know that according to British politics I am an Anarchist. But since that isn't a option I stand quite left, socialist yet neutral. I sympathise with the socialist (even communist) philosophy (on paper, in a way) but I don't see why everything has to revolve or be based in money and I also think that if you want to work more and get more that should be your right. I am poor because I don't work much, that is my choice and I'm happy to accept it because my life isn't guided by money like every politician seems to think everyone's is.

It seems to me that a lot of the more socialist and leftist parties in Sweden want to make a lot more strange rules and take away a lot more freedom...which I don't understand as it should be the other way round. Or am I wrong?

I love that the Swedish "Green Party" is in league with the Animal Rights. I love that the "Young Left" realises that the bratty-rich-parent over-class is the enemy (let's face it, the rich kids get all the breaks and end up being the next generation's bosses etc...it's a reason to fight). The "Revolution Front" has some nice stickers, nice ideas but seems to always have an image of violence along with it...

I just don't know which way I would turn.

Anyway, I do advise all of voting age to get more educated than I am and go out and vote...think locally and don't throw away the chance.

And read my post on the Pirate Party (again HERE) so when you see their campaigners out on the street you can tell them to get their head out of their asses.
