According to the Healthcare Party's Bo Ek, it has been difficult to recruit younger people to the political positions of trust - in addition, he feels that it is only becoming more difficult.
- The young people do not want to deal with these issues.
I have that experience, he says to SVT.
Engaged at 60
Bo Ek himself was 60 years old and had just stopped working when he got involved in politics, and maybe there is something to take with him when looking for new politicians.
The regrowth may not be found among the 30-year-olds but among the newly retired?
The proportion who are 65 and older is in the regional council in Norrbotten 49 percent.
Only three percent are 30 years or younger.
Many of the very oldest belong to the Healthcare Party and no less than 18 of the regional council's 23 members over the age of 75 belong to the party.
In the clip, you hear Bo Ek about why it is difficult to rejuvenate among the county's regional politicians.
