Cool place.

You like places who vote for Commies, now?

Not particularly because of that, but because of the overall vote for the hippie/artsy parties and the uber-low vote for the bad guys.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The first maps of many.

[Jackson]

which of those parties are right or left?

Simut, Inuit, seem to be Left wing. Atassut is Right wing it seems.

Union is right, Social Democrats left, it seems. Centre, and Peoples Parties seem right wing, while Republic seems left wing.

What about the others?

The other parties are mostly small liberal or separatist parties. Separatism for Denmark is also a major issue in the Faroes, with Republic and the People's Party being separatist and Union and the Social Democrats being unionist. So this election should be viewed as a vote for unionist parties and against separatist parties.

Ugghhh. Why did Denmark have to go left?

[redcommander]

Not going to happen, you just as well hope for the tooth fairy, either you get a left government which want a less restrictive immigration policies (through not by much), or you can get a right government which will keep selling out to DPP for a few tax cuts and a continued centralisation of power.

Less restrictive immigration policy, yeah right. The very important word in what you just said is "want". Your new PM might possibly want less restrictive immigration policy, but it's quite clear she is too afraid to challange the xenophobia, and that very little if anything will be changed on that front.  

So the new PM isn't going to change the right's restrictive immigration policies? Won't that anger some of her base. It seems kind of odd for her not to stand up to the Danish People's Party on that issue. Has the immigration issue fear mongered many people in Denmark that the Social Democrats believe they will have an electoral disaster if they attempt to change it?

Hope someone finds this interesting.

So are there any specific left-wing proposals we're going to get out of the new government? Like something the previous government had been blocking for years.

Hey, a win's a win, you know? Even if not absolutely ideal. It would have been nice if SD and SF had both done better, but one of the worst government's in Europe is out of office, so, yay.

Yes, yes, I know. I can't, however, feel fully satisfied when 49.7% of the Danish still voted for the nastiest government they've ever had. Why do people always have to be even dumber than predicted ?

Thank you for the awesome maps, anyways.

And still, a very important and very bright spot : an epic turnout. As much as I'm not fond of the way Danish people voted, at least they did vote massively and that's what matters most.

Very true. Denmark is neiter a dictatorship, nor does it have mandatory voting, the election takes place on a weekday when most people have to work and the election campaign lasted only 3 weeks, unless the 2 years in the US or 2-3 months in Austria. Considering this, 88% turnout is really outstanding.

[Bacon King]

Interesting that the three biggest parties parties don't change their seat totals (well, one party lost one seat) but the next five parties by size each change their totals by at least six seats.

Hope someone finds this interesting.

Needs to be augmented with party strength maps for all parties represented in parliament.

People who're strongly against the immigration rules didn't vote for her and S, they voted for one of the other left-wing parties. Basicly yes, Thoring-Schmidt believe that if she push the immigration issue people will run right back to Venstre and DPP.

[Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese]

BTW, Al your maps are awsome, as always.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Just started work on more detailed maps. A little later than was the general plan, but I ended up having more to do today than planned. Including rescuing a hat from a bus depot.

Hope someone finds this interesting.

I find it amusingly ironic that one of El Mundo's major titles about the Danish election is the "rebirth of communism" (but the article is quite good)

This is great - absolut gold. 2 things:
May I use it? I'll give you credit for it of couse
and
Will you do the same for the rest of the country? In case you only can (or will) do a bit, I would very much like to see maps of Københavns Omegns Storkreds (Suburbian Copenhagen) and Nordsjællands Storkreds (North Sealand)
