"The question about young people`s unemployment should be the most important election issue 2010".
The political opposition complains a lot about the government`s lack of creating work opportunities for young people. Over and over again they talk about how the government has failed at this point and how something just has to be done.
I wonder what that something is. I would like concrete suggestions from all the political parties about this issue in order to inform the voters of what to expect from them after the election, not just empty promises that sounds nice, but concrete strategies to solve the problems, or at least reduce them. It´s easy to point out other mistakes and to give promises, but it´s time to make things happen. It´s time for a big change. It´s time for taking care of our future while being realistic and honest.
I´m anxious to know what the different blocks´strategies will be in the next election concerning this hot and important question. I have tried to figure that out while reading the different parties home sites, but I have to admit that it has not made me any wiser. I think it´s sad that the government, no matter what political parties it includes,only gets this very short time 0f four years to make their changes, hopefully improvements. It´s not easy to make big changes and build a system that works in every point in only four years. When some things in our society changes something else will probably suffer, at least for a while, and I think we need to give the government more time to both develop and also confirm the changes they already have begun. The dissatisfaction the government have to deal with today would not have to be this big if they did not promised that much in order to win the election. I guess that is a priority they have to make.
I think it´s time to face the fact that it´s no use to win an election if the parties don´t keep their promises and thereby loose peoples´ confidence.To win an election without keeping the promises will never let a government rule for more than four years and The Swedish people have to stand the lack of stability that this system brings. I hope it will be different next time, I hope the politicians realize that young voters are tired of being disappointed and demand big changes, real changes!
Hi Anna
SvaraRaderaFirst of all very well done!! You have written with a high level of proficiency which can be seen in your choice of words and building of sentences. One thing that does not really suit the formal way you have written in is the use of contractions, like it´s instead of it is. I think your text would be even more professional if you avoid those contractions.
Your introduction really caught my interest and there you state very clear about what the text is going to be about and your opinion about the issue. While reading the text I find out that it is more about the fact that politicians should keep their promises than the issue about young people´s work opportunities. Maybe you should go back to your main issue in the end of your text…
I am very curious to hear about possible counterarguments to your statement. Since you have written an argumentative text I think there should be some…
So Anna, this was just a few suggestions to you. But once again, very good indeed! You have the capacity to really engage the readers in your thoughts. You should be a columnist!!
Best regards
Teresia
