Important political topics
Candidate's answers in election machine
1 / 14
Sibbo needs its own swimming hall.
A swimming hall of our own would definitely be a boon to the health of our residents. The school kids would also get opportunities for more kinds of sports.
2 / 14
The East Rail would cause significant disruption to Sibbo's landscape and nature, and therefore the municipality should oppose the project, even if it could benefit public transport.
I am against the itärata-project in all the forms I\'ve seen. The railroad would both destroy our nature and run over our houses, destroying our our villages.
3 / 14
The Swedish village schools in Sibbo should be preserved, even if it means higher costs per student compared to larger schools in central areas.
If I got to choose, I would open finnish-speaking village schools. Closing village schools rarely even translates to any kind of savings, according to research.
4 / 14
Early childhood education should be free for everyone.
I think it\'s good to have a small fee of sorts.
5 / 14
Schools should prioritize traditional textbooks over digital learning materials.
There are many practical reasons why paper books are more convenient than digital ones. I hold the position that printed books should be primary while digital learning materials could be used to complement studies.
6 / 14
One of the municipality’s most important tasks is to invest in sports facilities and opportunities for exercise and recreation.
Sports and exercise is vital for maintaining the health of the populace. I see it as one of the most important duties that a municipality has.
7 / 14
It is important to provide all residents with equal opportunities for cultural activities.
I agree that everyone should have opportunities to cultural activities in Sipoo. Culture and togetherness is nourishment for the soul.
8 / 14
The municipality should introduce or improve opportunities for residents to influence how municipal funds are used through participatory budgeting.
I think it\'s good to make use of the people in decision-making. But we already have some opportunities to affect how the budget is used, such as right now on the municipality\'s website.
9 / 14
The municipality should invest in public transportation.
We need public transport to take the villages into better account again, or we risk slowly turning them into museums. The timetables, should they even exist, are absolutely nonsensical in some places.
10 / 14
It should be possible to be a resident in more than one municipality, for example, through digital municipal citizenship.
11 / 14
The municipality should better facilitate the expansion of renewable energy, such as solar and wind power.
There already is a solar farm on the way. So I don\'t think it needs an extra push from us.
12 / 14
The municipality should mix more housing types in planning than is currently the case.
It would be good to revise these things now that we have updated building regulation.
13 / 14
The municipality should introduce anonymous recruitment.
But I\'m sceptical to the benefits of this in a municipality as small as Sipoo.
14 / 14
If you could give a superpower to your future political leader, what would it be?
Every other option could go wrong somehow, but this option is the best superpower a political leader could ask for.
