Rune's personal Political Facebook Page HERE

The Alternative believes that together we can create much better political solutions than we do today. That is why they invite everyone both in Denmark and abroad to send questions, ideas and input for developing The Alternative’s political proposals.

Following the event at Dome of Visions on May 23rd 2015, the information from the day will be gathered and transferred into concrete political proposals, to potentially be implemented into the Official Political Agenda of The Alternative.
