I've been a bit busy over the last couple of months but I'm going to try do some updates on what has been going on in Sweden.
Sweden's annual political week started on Sunday. It will go for eight days on an island called Gotland. This week started in 1968 when Sweden's Prime minister Olof Palme was headed back from vacation in Gotland and before he left he gave a speech to a crowd of people, beginning this tradition. Since then this week has been a time for people from every party to speak to the public. On the island there is workshops, seminars, speeches and other political events. This week has become the center of politics in Sweden where business leaders and politicians come to share they're ideas about the country.
This week seems like a very attractive idea for politics around the world. It seems very similar to our conventions except instead of separate republican and democratic conventions it is just one big convention. This political week seems to be a much better idea, it brings the countries politics together rather then causing more arguments and separation. Other countries such as Denmark have followed Sweden's example and I believe more countries should follow.
