The descension of Hakan the great.
The ascension of Håkan Juholt to party leader of the Swedish Socialist party, the Social Democrats, was meteoric. None of us knew of this relative insider and none of us, knew what to expect.. if anything.
Like all things velocity related, there’s a a law of nature that comes into play when the meteor hits the atmosphere of a planet. Let’s call it friction.
Håkan, a very friendly looking person and no doubt a good man to those he calls his friends, resigned the other day from his post, because he believes in the social democrats, he said.
The followup to all this, were his ramblings in the media, on all things related to his person and position, but most of all his shenanigans with certain economic issues he had take advantage of.
Now why i’m posting this is because i’ve been reading too many posts, facebook reblogs, where persons of interest are accusing the media of being slanted, the media of being against a left coalition in majority and that the opposition is rumored to be using ufo technology from the crash-landing at Kebnekaise to mind bend the former leftist voters to vote bourgeoisie.
People, there is no mustache twirling mad overlord behind the curtain, its more circumstantial than that.
Now if we take a closer look at Juholts behaviour in the media, we see a man who’s utterly devoid of any form of media training, a man who believes its his role to solve issues stemming from his own faults.
But we also see, just a man.
The greatest fault of any leader is not to listen to his employees, the lesser evil of a leader is to ignore criticism.
I actually found him wanting due to this, but he rose up and abdicated his position, because, he believed in something greater than himself.
He has a vision.
That floored me, What Sweden has been lacking for decades, is a leader with a vision. Sweden needs someone to take the reins and form a solid vision of how to take the country forward.
For anyone who is willing to take the reins for the Social Democrats, there’s a need to reform the party from within, renew the organisation and modernise the party. that is no small endeavor, and it is not. for the meek.
Whoever makes that happen, and I hope it is Johanna Graf, is the person that will make me cast my vote in favor of the party.
hat tip to Deeped for making me notice Johannas post that catalysed this post in turn.
