My comment on the Nobel Peace prize being awarded Navi Pillay: This prize does not mean that international justice has arrived — it means the world still believes that those who have devoted their lives to pursuing it deserve to be recognized.

Alternatively: "We will fund it by cutting red tape that strangles innovation and economic growth" Strangely enough there is never enough red tape to cut and the promised growth always fails to materialize so the tax cuts inevitably are paid for by the elderly, our children and the disabled.

On this day 20 years ago, Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in Moscow, on Putin’s 54th birthday. She had spent years reporting on Putin’s Russia and exposing atrocities committed during Russia’s war in Chechnya. Dozens of journalists have been killed for their work under Putin.

Start with the case of Victoria Roshchyna who was tortured to death in such a horrific manner that the Russians further mutilated her body afterwards to hide the extent of their crimes.

Samma Rubbestad som sänkte kvittningssystemet. Kvittningssystemets fall skapar ett incitament för partierna att enbart nominera kandidater som har minimal risk för frånvaro vilket rimmar illa med jämställdhetsfrågan när äldre, funktionsnedsatta, sjuka och föräldrar sållas bort i nomineringslistorna.

Man kan tycka mycket om kvittningsreglerna men dom fyller en viktig roll. Riksdagens arbete kan behöva moderniseras så man kan rösta även om man är mammaledig, sjuk eller sitter fast på ett tåg efter någon dåre begått spårsabotage men innan den moderniseringen skett behövs kvittning.

Kan också tillägga att utan kvittning förändras urvalsprocessen i partiernas nomineringslistor till riksdagen. Har du minsta förhöjd risk för frånvaro riskerar du att diskvalificeras enbart på det. Småbarnsförälder eller funktionsnedsatt? Då kan du inte representera oss i riksdagen.

Helt rätt, regeringen är ansvarig inför riksdagen och vill man inte ha det så så kan vi avskaffa riksdagen och rösta på en diktator vart fjärde år istället för det är i princip vad vi får om riksdagens ledamöter fråntas möjligheten att rösta emot sitt parti när partiet spårar ur.

Funderare kring hur många småbarnsföräldrar som stryks från partilistorna för riksdagsvalet när högre risk för frånvaro kan ändra utfallet i riksdagen. Funktionsnedsättning blir också negativt urvalskriterie så vi får räkna med endast fullt friska män utan familj på våra riksdagslistor framöver.

Riksdagsledamöter med småbarn sitter nog rätt löst i nästa val med tanke på att deras ökade risk för sjukfrånvaro nu är en belastning som kan påverka utgången i riksdagens omröstningar. Tänker på Carl-Wiktor Svensson som ströks från Moderaternas lista för han var småbarnsförälder vid förra valet.
