The medium age of the youth on the island was 16 years (according to a media source). The youngest 14, up to 30 something. I belive as Therion, that the black and white world view is more profound in youth and they are more radical then the mother party. The students and young are also often in the frontline in protests and “revolts”. But the youth with polar views are probably in the extreme parties to the left and to the right side of the political life. However, I do believe this social democrat youth party that was targeted is rather benign holding democratic and very high level of human rights/equality ideas. The question if youth should be allowed to be in political parties is interesting. We can vote from age 18, but we can be members of political parties from earlier age. But membership or not, politically activity is not confined into fixed youth organisations. They exist from the moment someone is politically aware. The individual starts there political awareness at different ages, some remain totally ignorant for there whole life. Politically ignorant ppl are as much or more of a problem then ppl that informs them self and educate em self about politics and the system. |

The political climate here is fine, democracy working at it best. We can debate if the sick should have less benefits, we can debate if the unemployed should get less benefits, we can debate how little pension our old should have, we can debate how extremely little help the oldest age ppl should have at the end of there life. We can sure debate how extremely little the weakest in society should have, even letting our native ppl live on the streets its cost efficient. And not only are we allowed to debate this, we have for the last 6 years seen all the a bow social securities being dismantled and lowered at the same phase as we give them who have the most, yet another tax relief.
But you may be surprised, here in our democratic society it’s not allowed to debate the immigration, and it been so for a decade now. Anyone who suggest that we should allow one less immigrant a year is doomed and ladled a murdering nazy and a right wing extremist. The person’s political future is gone in a second, his work life will be affected, and socially he’s an outcast. The question I ask my self especially after this shooting, Is this reasonable? Surely every party must have as many views on immigration as they have members? One less, one more, two less, three more, half the present quota, double the present quota of immigrants? But, we are not allowed to debate it… This arguably must have built up a frustration in moderate ppl who want to debate the immigration. The ppl who have feelings/opinions about the immigration may well end up in the extreme camps, where other extreme ideas and method are debated and may well form there political views.. Wouldn’t it be better to allow the immigration debate within the political systems and media. Letting the parliament and parties debate this question in the same way they debate all other questions? |

Here in Poland, one conservative party got completely destroyed politically because they had a youth group. While the actions and words of the party were pretty moderate, their youth organization was full of retarded skinheads and football hooligans. |
