"Alla ska med" is the slogan for the Social Democrats is this election, it means roughly "Everyone should be included", and this really is what Social Democracy is about isnt it, that we try to move society forward together, not splitting into divisions based on wealth or ethic groupings, but maintain that cohesion.
Today we helped bring 40,000 letters to first time voters to the main post office, then handed out roses outside a mosque here in Stockholm. Then myself and James visited the partys youth wing HQ (very impressive) and were interviewed on web radio.
After we went to a rally the Prime Minister held in the main hall of the central station. A rock band preceeded him on stage and his speech seemed well delivered (we didnt understand a word!). But he had a relaxed conversational style, walking around the stage, mic in hand, other hand in pocket... the crowd liked it but werent falling over in adoration...
...dinner tonite...and few more drinks no doubt... :)
