Can we beleive politicians...
The i-genuis summit started with the nice talk of a politician just came back in Thailand... He shared that his experience abroad make him beleive really strongly in social innovation and that he will do everything to support us.

He also ask for some support because he is candidate for the next elections... The speach is nice... But what else... When I share this to Chaiwat, he confirm that the politician is really for social innovation and that indeed he is new in the political landscape... Also share that as many politicians... He is really good at talking and promising but not really responsable for a lot of actions...

Can we beleive politicians... For sure their intentions... But let see for the actions... According to me they are too often worry about popularity and fear to misact so they did not act enough...

I am doing some politic in Belgium... But in fact I don't beleive that the changement will come from this level... It is street wise that chagement are... And social innovation must start from need and passion... Not from the wish to please around and to be elected for more power...
