October 9th, 2009 · No Comments · Politics
And the discussion is hot here in Norway when Torbjørn Jagland announced President Obama as the winner.

A definition of conservatism
September 10th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Politics
Just a thought, what is conservatism? I asked yesterday at Twitter and got several responses. But what struck me was more ideas about political parties, like Høyre and FrP than what it could be as an ideology.
Could you say, today, that conservatism could stand for “you’re happy with what you got and don’t wanna’ change” [...]

Give the kids something to eat in school!
August 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Politics
One of the things that I really miss in the debate in the forthcoming elections is the question about nutrition in schools. There have been some try-outs all over the country, and the results is conclusive: Giving the kids something to eat during the day increases the results!
Why isn’t this higher on the agenda?
In the [...]

The reason for my [...]

A comment on the EU elections
June 9th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Politics
Not surprisingly, there were little about the EU elections in the Norwegian media. Mostly, the discussion was about two things, right-wing extremists joining the European parliament and the Swedish Piratpartiet taking place.
The most interesting I think is the total collapse for the social democratic side, I was kinda’ expecting the opposite, looking in the capitalistic [...]
The use of social media in politics fails – in Sweden
June 2nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Marketing, Politics
The same discussion as we have in Norway about the use of social media in politics is still under heat, this time in Sweden, for the upcoming EU-election.

The Norwegian government and Aker
April 9th, 2009 · No Comments · Misc, Politics
Yet again, the Red/Green coaliation shows all the signs of making political harakiri, this time the Aker-case. The oppsition have happy days, poundering the message that the Government shouldn’t be involved in business, the way we do here in Norway, which means highly imvolvmeny from the state in different areas, especially related towards oil/energy and [...]
