It starts with a call or a cup of coffee!

Capten Zoom - a TV hero from the 70ties.

Yesterday I met two members of the swedish house of Parlament.

How have I come to this position - first me and a friend have a discussion about the current political situation in Sweden. We have started one company together successfully and never talked about politics before but now - is the time for that.

Not a busy day at the swedish Parlament!

For years we have worked to built trust and a common grund for good things to happen. Now was the time to use this!

Our proposal is about five areas:
1. Environmental/Climate. The current water situation.
2. Living conditions.
3. Communications with new kind of vehicles.
4. Companies and entrepreneurs.
5. Digital communication.

We present the proposal to the politicians over the phone - and got a okey to a cup of coffee at the Parlament. I think we succeed in the presentation round and got a lot of good suggestions from the Parlament members how to precede. Suggestions of people to meet, companies to call and organisations to contact.

Now we enter phase two in this project!

A call for Democracy - One of the Worlds biggest political, civil society and lobbyist meeting!

Since 45 years Almedalen has been a event about politics and civil society - and the challanges and solutions of our society!

"During this week, something that many call the Almedalen spirit prevails. The week quite simply has a special atmosphere, to which the time and place have definitely contributed. Almedalen Week is an unusual combination of political summit and openness. However, it is also associated with an informal atmosphere, intimacy, discussion, democracy, manoeuvring, seminars and further education and training." Source: www.almedalsveckan.info/6910
