Raisio
"Safety and welfare"
I am a ordinary guy living in Raisio who has been following the recent events in our society with a keen eye. Many things seem to work very well, but they could work even better. They are lacking that all-important final touch.
On the local level I strive for better living and employment. On the wider level I want to work for improved welfare and safety for all people.
Important political topics
Children, Youth, and Families
It is in everybody's interest that our children get the best schooling possible, that all their special needs are catered for and that the community is pleasant to live in.
Thriving citizens
In my opinion all people should get to enjoy a well-oiled and working society, which at the same time isn't too expensive to uphold.
Candidate's answers in election machine
1 / 11
Early childhood education should be free for everyone.
It should be easier for low income families to receive support, but otherwise it should be like before.
2 / 11
Schools should prioritize traditional textbooks over digital learning materials.
I\\\\\\\'ve been lucky to have been able to sit-in at classes in school and though the digital teaching aids work very well, there is still a long way to go until pen and paper become obsolete. If ever.
3 / 11
One of the municipality’s most important tasks is to invest in sports facilities and opportunities for exercise and recreation.
4 / 11
It is important to provide all residents with equal opportunities for cultural activities.
5 / 11
The municipality should introduce or improve opportunities for residents to influence how municipal funds are used through participatory budgeting.
Could be worth investigating.
6 / 11
The municipality should invest in public transportation.
The bus lines in the city should be reorganized. They don\\\\\\\'t serve all inhabitants equally. I am somewhat undecided when it comes to the proposed tram lines. The current plans don\\\\\\\'t seem quite enough, I think.
7 / 11
It should be possible to be a resident in more than one municipality, for example, through digital municipal citizenship.
Difficult to follow-up. Misuse would surely follow.
8 / 11
The municipality should better facilitate the expansion of renewable energy, such as solar and wind power.
I am all for renewable energy forms. Not only for larger energy plants but also for small plants, like solar panels on people\\\\\\\'s homes.
9 / 11
The municipality should mix more housing types in planning than is currently the case.
10 / 11
The municipality should introduce anonymous recruitment.
11 / 11
If you could give a superpower to your future political leader, what would it be?
I don\\\\\\\'t see corruption as a very big problem in our country. And tampering with the past may be very dangerous (the butterfly effect). Instead, I would see to it that every decision from now on would be a perfect one.
