Thorning-Schmidt.

Anyone with more knowledge know if the Social Democrats lead will play out?

Hmm intrestingly there haven't been a Danish Prime Minister since I was 2 who wasn't named Rasmussen. That is very strange. Anyway not sure, I don't know that much of either of them. Rasmussen seem rather bland from what I can tell, Thorning-Schmidt is a Social Democrat. They both seem quite bad.


No surprise there really

I spat out my meal when I realized Kjærsgaard was the leader of the Danish People's Party. Do you people not realize far-right movements are different in different countries?

Thorning-Schmidt is too bourgeois for my tastes, but that could be offset once the Social Democrats go into coalition with the Socialist People's Party. And what would it say of the European left if they cannot win this?

The Europeon far right is very, very close to Fascism. I still prefer the far right to the far left. So I probaly would vote New Democracy.

I enthusiastically support the Social-Democrats in every scandinavian country. All the more when their opponents are assholes who ally with xenophobes.

It'd be an extremely worrying result.

I was unaware of the Progress Party when I made my last post. Knowing how a "libertarian" protest party like that moved into today's Danish People's Party puts things into perspective.

Here's a twenty-page paper if you're into that sort of thing.

Nazis is a bit excessively hyperbolic for a party that encompasses more than 10% of Danish voters.

It's amusing because Carl probably wouldn't support their economic policies.

Obviously Denmark isn't Hungary, but it's worth noting that there an actual Nazi party got a sixth of the vote.

Right, right, but Jobbik is a whole other story. I don't like the dilution of the term Nazi that occurs when it's used to label a party like Dansk Folkeparti.

This is a party that was in the same group as Fianna Fail in the European Parliament for instance.

They're hardly on the same level as some of the more foul examples (BNP or Vlaams Belang, for example)

Kjaersgaard exemplifies change, and change is totally superfluous for a country like Denmark. Someone inoffensive and static belonging to a party akin to the US Democrats, Australian Labor, or Canadian Liberals should perpetually hold the office of Prime Minister in Denmark.
