One of my friends called me. He was on his way home from the embassy of Iran, here in Sweden. The embassy had been surrounded by a large group of iran communists and he had to make a small detour in order to make his vote in the Iran general election. Now the results are up, and BBC has covered it here, and in pictures here. I was actually surprised reading Mr. Ahmadinejad was re-elected. However it kinda figures the guy in control (to put it mildly) keeps a firm grip. As it seems there won't be any violent revolution coming up, but analysts seems to expect minor outbursts. I will dig deeper into this foreign election. The question in mind: Is Ahmadinejad now a king of sand?
From a Heartbeat perspective, this election is not really drawing any borders to our activities, but we like to keep a watch and especially since not a few of our friends was among those voting. Something about another election, the Swedish general election for EU parliament: Arrgh. I didn't vote for the so-called Pirates. I don't want them in parliament. Not because I don't pull down a song now or then from the cloud; it's because I expect politicians - especially leading ones - to be better persons than the rest of us. More educated, intelligent, show more solidarity and bear more sustainable development in mind than the rest of us. Not to be some trolls raving columns and blurting out oneliners which I can't even remember a minute later.
Getting a bit far out on the ice, I feel my english skills ain't elite enough to handle this topic any further, I'm just kicking this ball out on the field: I'm not trying to propagate a technocrati. I just believe our system could produce better things, if choosing a different path to that shiny goal "democracy".
