To be 1.7 per cent, representing 25 per cent? What is this about? Well, that so few oap – over 65 years of age than for so long – is in Sweden’s newly elected parliament. The 1.7% will therefore represent the quarter of the population in Sweden who are over the age of 65, that is to say, every fourth adult. It is outrageous!
today is, of course demonstrably healthier than previous generations of retirees should be clear of a riksdagsarbete many years after the 65-year threshold.
then does it really matter? Yes, I think that it plays a major role. Thousands of apartments for elderly people, with staff who will take care of our elderly who do not manage themselves has been done in Sweden in, say, the last 20 years. Often, perhaps, in smaller communities, where the old has lived in his entire life. Now, they live in the urban area on a demensboende.
But also in Stockholm, has care homes have been closed down and converted to trygghetsboenden. Now called it a home for the elderly with the activity centre, because there was no security there.
who draws up the frameworks and guidelines for the municipalities ‘and county councils’ work, so it is very important who is sitting in the parliament. The need older people in politics! And it is more important with older than with young people. We who are older remember how it was to be young, but the young may not know how it is to become mature.
finally, the Belt you lokalmedlemmar in all political parties. It is you who should you vote for your elected representatives to the parliament and the other political assemblies. See to it that we older people are on the elective places on your lists. Then it can be different at the next election.
