First campaign video!
Today I’m announcing my small campaign blog, that will be active until the EU elections!
I’m kicking off with a small campaign video as well. We’ve made a few of them and they will be released with a few days in between.
The videos might be strange to some (or most). But they fit me quite well as a person. Most politicians are interested in making a career and not rocking the boat they’re sitting in. I think that’s wrong! We need to talk more about ideology and we need people in government that are human, not robots. We need people to stir up the system when it’s broken, and not duck for the facts that somethings are plainly corrupt.
Ideologically I’m first of all working for a free internet, an open government, more transparancy and more respect for human rights. I realize that we’re moving our society to digital grounds and we still treat that arena as some sort of entertainment platform. Facebook messages are not taken as serious as physical letters even though the emotions connected to the words are as important.
Most of the people in the pirate parties in the world agree on these basic issues. But I think it’s also important for a voter to know who they’re voting for when it comes to other questions too. That’s why I’m very open with the fact that I’m a vegetarian and will work hard for animal rights, I’m a socialist and will work hard for workers rights, the right to a fair paycheck and safe employment.
My previous work, for instance with The Pirate Bay, has hopefully made people trust me enough to fight for what I believe in. If you believe in the same things as me I hope that I have your vote. If not, that’s fine too. But you’ll probably not find another candidate that’s as romantic as me to vote for.
