One big mistake of many politicians is to have no understanding for the real situation of people in their country.

It took Austria a long time to be honest about its past.

What every generation must do is try to make Europe better than it was in the past.

Our national focus will be security, with the goal of 'a Europe that protects.'

Social media has had a corrosive effect on government and trust, and I think it is a real cause for concern.

The government will see that human spaceflight is useful - for science and the economy - and inspirational.

There are some who invoke separation of church and state - to try to get the government out of the business of morality - but this is antithetical to what the founders wanted. The founders wanted to keep theology out of government so that government could focus on the proper business of morality.

I believe elitism in politics is over, and a new path to achieving democracy should be charted by young people who have the most at stake in the future of our city.
