We must meet the Democrats' newly elected member of Inatsisartut, Pipaluk Olsen. Here she stands two days after the election, and it is about to dawn on her that she has now stayed elected into Inatsisartut.

- I am very sensitive. Right now everything is... Me crying quite a bit at the moment, I am happy and joyful. Everything seems unreal, I saw just have to take it all in, says Pipaluk Olsen.

She is Demokraatit's new female face in Inatsisartut. Pipaluk Olsen is 33 years old, mother of four children, born in Sisimiut, lives in Nuuk and is family counselor in Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq. Better conditions for both day care institutions and employees were her most important issues during the election campaign. And she wants to also prioritize when the work as a member of Inatsisartut starts.

- If we are going to change something, we have to start with the children. That's what Iceland did. And how are things going in Iceland now? It goes excellent.

Political change rarely happens overnight second, and a majority is needed to implement real changes. The one newly elected are determined to take up the fight.

- I want to shout loudly about my special cases. I have to enough to repeat my remarkable cases when I am in the minority. I'm already good at that to. I will keep going until I succeed, says Pipaluk Olsen.
