Election day
Today is election day here in Sweden, and the votes are currently being counted. It is a bit of a nervous time...
Election day is quite special to me. I am a politician's daughter, so I probably remember more from campaigns and elections in the past than most other people my age, and there are many things that are funny looking back upon. This day of course makes me remember them. Also, this day is special simply because we are allowed to vote. Let's face it, far far from all countries have a system that allows you to vote in freedom, and where the result is not manipulated.
Anyway, today, the sun was shining, and the weather was as lovely as it can be in the autumn. People I met in and out of the hall where I voted seemed quite happy. Maybe it was just me, or maybe it was because of the sunshine, but I thought it was almost a slight sense of celebration in the air. I straightened my back a little, and voted.
And now I'm trying not to bite my nails while I wait for the results!
Red or blue?
