Trying to imagine my own grandfather running the country with the same ideals and standards and slightly outdated views that he picked up from his years in college and graduate school in the 1960's would be an absolute disaster. He's an intelligent and progressive man, and was very valuable in his field for years, but soon became very disconnected from the direction the world was moving... eventually you just run out of steam, or become impatient with things and find it harder to learn new skills and adapt to new ways of thinking.
Seeing Scandinavian countries with leaders who are younger and more in tune with the changes in society, and the different challenges current youth and young adults are facing economically is incredibly valuable. They seem to have an energy and drive to progress forward and it is so much more refreshing than watching these heavily aged candidates try and rally the country together in an effort to tie up their legacy before they die.
Edit: this was fun but I’m checking out now, gotta make dinner. I’m glad this provoked some controversy and conversation.
