In 2040, I hope to have aged gently and be able to spend a relaxed retirement with friends. Elderly care will be better, people will be able to meet face to face and the futility of digitalisation will have been forgotten. Welfare and health care are in order, with care available wherever you want it. No one is left alone. Less money is spent on war and much more on people's well-being. Income is more evenly distributed and there is less corruption everywhere. Europe is at peace and the Cold War is just a sad memory. Nature is still reasonably well and climate change has not advanced at a huge rate.

I would like to see a future where there is a safe public space, where there are no lunatics with knives on the streets killing innocent people. I wish that drug addicts and aggressors would be punished severely for their actions and hurting their victims and that our laws would not protect criminals and juveniles. Let criminal liability be reduced and let there be harsh laws and punishments for criminals of violent crimes. Let there be respect, deference and warmth among the people.

I would hope that the world would be a better place to live in, less pollution, less inequality, and offer many opportunities for all, of course no wars to threaten existence . one would also hope that science has solved the many problems that plague us, npn more disease or suffering, food for all. respect for all living forms animal or plant, a kind of garden of eden, but without snakes

I dream of a Europe where everyone can be themselves. Everyone would be happy, not having to be afraid of other people, terrorists, etc. Everyone would have a job and a home. Health care would be good and easily accessible with a low threshold. Europe should be democratic in its decisions, so that one country, for example, cannot reject the majority's wishes. At present, emigration is the cause of the vast majority of street-level fears (drugs, sex crime, violent crime, etc...) and this needs to be addressed. More police officers are needed to patrol e.g. city centres and suburbs. Training should remain at least at the current level (in Finland) and should continue to be free of charge. It could be easier to move to and make a living in other Member States, to make Europe more coherent. People should be supported to eat healthily, at the moment all cheap food is hollow carbohydrates with no nutritional value. So tax breaks for healthy food.
