What are your views on the future geopolitical situation between China, the US and the EU. More specified: what about the relations between the US and the EU as a result of current developments and how will it affect the classic western world versus china paradigm?

“Job creation through infrastructure investment”. Let us talk about that. On its own, this is just a temporary fix if there is unemployment. In this sense this is only a “bait” for unemployed people to vote.

But in the larger sense it can bolster your region. And this is where my interest starts. For some context, i’m an economic geographer specialized in business and location (aka locational decisions and of firms and why firms are in a certain region). Infrastructure is a broad term. One of my first questions is; what exact infrastructure are you going to improve and why does it need improvement?

I have no clue about the economic DNA of your region btw (am from the Netherlands). So what is your future plan with this (assuming it is road infrastructure for example). Just infrastructure is like I said earlier, just a temporary fix. It is what you can capitalize on with infrastructure that makes it interesting. What type of industries are strongly represented in your area? What is the plan on helping local firms to profit from the infrastructure improvements?

Would love to hear about this. And goodluck with your campaign.
