Give it up for mr. Carl Bildt, Sweden’s Foreign Minister. He’s keeping a blog on Wordpress, and it’s a real, proper blog/diary where he rants much like the rest of us about this and that, but also offer insightful and exciting glimpses into the world of international politics.

Swedish journalists aren’t entirely happy with his project, but he answers to their criticism in his blog and is clearly up for the fight.

To me, reading this man’s blog is a euphoric experience. It’s nowhere near the usual smooth and rather simplistic political rhetoric. His words and thoughts are 100% real, I believe, and it’s refreshing to see a politician in such an open, care-free and unofficial context. This is the way of the future. Way to go, mr. Bildt!
