Disassembling local political power

This week, in the local paper of my south Stockholm suburb dull news came infront of me. Stockholms local municipal district offices are, by the centralized politicians, in favour to become even more disassembled. No particular cause is mentioned, but everyone can realize that it is the resources that just doesnt seem to be enough. So, instead of disassembling them this year, due to total objection by all municipal district offices, they get a dispensation and will probably disassembled next year.

Why should we bother? It is obvious! No local political influence will not deliver the most appropriate decisions for the local community. Then, suddenly you might have a road on your back yard, an enourmos shopping mall in your neighborhood or a giant freeway in the nearest green area. Why can´t we try to hold on to these positive institutions? Why can´t we realize that by making everything more individual we are losing the picture of the bigger whole? By focusing on money, in whatever level of society, primarily will NOT bring us happiness, this is nowdays scientifically proved.

The world we create is simply a result based on the decisions we prioritate. It´s now, both locally, regionally and globally critical to make these decisions integrated with those existing in our hearts and souls.

In search of the common sense
