The liberati is here
So finally we in the Liberati have published our five point declaration defining what the Liberati is and our view of the future of liberal politics in Sweden.
The Liberati has allready stired up a loot of feelings in the Swedish blog sphere. Mostly a lot of nit picking regarding the name and the persons engaged. But also over the fact that the core of Liberati has some strict criteria for who will be part of it. (The core that is or you might call it the steering committee.) But come on, we are starting a new movement in Swedish politics and for this to become effective we need a tight group that meets frequently and discusses the core aspects that Liberati will be focused on. It’s just not doable without some steering and especially not if there is to many chefs stiring the same pot.
And there is also a lot of people sceptical to the fact that the founder is the Swedish artist and philosopher Alexander Bard. People being sceptical due to this don’t really know what they are talking about. I have rarely meet anyone so bright and motivated as Alexander, and mostly everything he have touched he has excelled with. I’m totally confident that the same will happen with the Liberati.
So please have a look at our five point declaration above and give me some feedback!
Update: I guess i should inform you that the liberati homepage is now officially launced.

Chris!
No problem with people or Alexander Bard but with the rigid stance for IPRED1. My opinion is that even this is a question to be openminded about.

I don’t think many people are skeptical of Bard. They generally seem to regard him as talented, which is why they are all the more surprised by his unwillingness to even discuss for example the problems related the Swedish implementation of IPRED1 which affects millions of swedes. By not welcoming people with different views this group will also miss out on what these liberal people could have contributed in other fields.
There seems to be some uncertainty to whether Liberati is an ordinary political working group or a larger web platform for Folkpartiet. If it’s the former I don’t get why there’s so much fuzz about it, and if it’s the latter I have to agree that it’s a bit surprising that it is not open to people with a bit more diverse views.
In any case, good luck to you.

Well Mary, please read the conversation in between Martin and Alexander again. When reading carefully it becomes clear that Alexander said he likes IPRED1 but he said nothing about the Liberati position on IPRED1.
And TOR Liberati is more of an action group to refocus the liberal groups and parties in Sweden. Liberati is in bed with Folkpartiet, but not married with them.
Liberati is also open for other liberals that feel that they can’t squeeze into one of the Swedish parties.
I realise that things are a bit confusning at the moment, but give us some time and it will clear up.
