Sometimes I wish I lived less than 800 miles and a ferry journey from London (not in that order), so that I could attend events like the one you expertly summarised here. Of course we should have a parliament more like the Swedes': we should also have municipalities like them, much smaller (and if possible, older than the state, like Finland). How do you engage best with your politicians? If you meet them while out shopping on a Saturday, like I do (both my MP and my MSP, Carmichael and McArthur). As far as I am concerned, *your* cute line is that you have decided that you would much prefer to run the risk of freedom than the assurance of oppression, and I will try to keep that in mind, along with Shami Chakrabati's frogs!
