You've articulated my thoughts and aspirations for a better world extremely succinctly @petelawrence - I've been so sick of party politics for so long and talked about the very same stuff as above to so many people, especially when asked why I haven't involved myself in politics for years! Thanks x

These 10 points have useful syncronicity with Alternativet (the Danish political party)'s core values:

1. Courage. Courage to look problems in the eye. But also courage about the future we share.
2. Generosity. Everything which can be shared will be shared with anyone interested.
3. Transparency. Everybody should be able to look over our shoulders. Both on good and on bad days.
4. Humility. To the task. To those on whose shoulders we stand. And to those who will follow us.
5. Humour. Without humour there can be no creativity. Without creativity there can be no good ideas. Without good ideas there can be no creative power. Without creative power there can be no results.
6. Empathy. Putting yourself in other people’s shoes. Looking at the world from that point of view. And creating win-win solutions for everyone.
The values are not just there to be brought out on special occasions. The six core values must be constant indicators that are visible in our daily political work – in the way we think, speak and act. From debate, to political initiatives and to the way we campaign.

Theirs are more focussed on the 'I' while Pete's are more on the 'we'..... both are neccessary.... I'll have a think about how they combine, or can flow between each other depending on the moment of application.
