Hello fellow pirates,<br>
<br>
I've been thinking about something that I haven't seen on any of the<br>
international mailinglists that I follow and I think it's an important<br>
discussion to have.<br>
<br>
There is the possibility that Sweden will lose its two seats in<br>
European Parliament. It's not something we enjoy thinking about and<br>
we're all hoping that it won't become a reality, but in politics you<br>
can never rule anything out. We need to not only prepare for a best<br>
case scenario, but a worst case as well.<br>
<br>
If we lose the Swedish MEPs, it would be a complete waste to lose<br>
their experience and their contacts as well. They have achieved<br>
immense things over the past term and I would truly be sad if the<br>
movement as a whole couldn't benefit from what they've done and learned.<br>
<br>
Therefore, I'd like to give this into consideration to you all. If any<br>
of the other European parties gets voted into the European Parliament<br>
while the Swedish MEPs lose their seats, I would suggest that<br>
Christian and/or Amelia get hired as a consultant by whoever replaces<br>
them.<br>
<br>
So please, take this back to your party and open up the discussion to<br>
ensure that we do not set ourselves back a few steps if this 'worst<br>
case scenario' comes true for PP-SE and the pirate movement as a whole.<br>
<br>
Love, Lisa<br>
<br>
PS: this is assuming that Christian and Amelia would be willing to be<br>
hired as such, of course. I'd love to hear their take on this as well.<br>
