Denmark parliamentary election: 15-09-2011

[Tender Branson]

Only 8 districts left.

[Tender Branson]

Brutal result in Nørrebro, where the Enhedslisten not only wins with 27.6%, but it gains 15.3%.

[Tender Branson]

What place is Nørrebro ? The Left gets 79% there (+5).

[Antonio the Sixth]

So, that's gonna be 89-86... Pretty disappointing, yeah. It might have been worse (of course) but still. SD losing groung, SF collapsing for some reason, the xenophobic bastards basically unchanged, the Saxobank-funded neoliberal outfit over 5%... It's quite a shame to see this victory only relies on Radikale Venstre (as much as I like it, it's basically a centrist party that doesn't have much to do with the traditional left).

lol Copenhagen is a great place.

What kind of place do you think?

Nørrebro is also known for its poly-cultural society, mostly from Middle-Eastern background. The dynamic, multiethnic main street Nørrebrogade runs through the area, with a multitude of shops and restaurants. One of the main points of interest in the area is historic Assistens Cemetery (Assistens Kirkegård), final resting place of Søren Kierkegaard, Niels Bohr and H.C. Andersen.

Nørrebro is a multiethnic society, and is inhabited by people from all parts of the world. The largest minority groups of people living in Nørrebro are Arabs,Turks, Pakistanis, Bosnians, Somalians, Albanians and many more.

...

OK, that explains a lot.

High population of minorities, students, young childless academics, artists, intellectuals etc

Hah I knew it was going to be closer than it looked, but the Reds still edging out a victory. We'll have to see for how long the Social Democrats will be able to keep Radikale and Enhedslisten together.

Hopefully in the next election we'll see a centre-right majority that doesn't need to depend on DPP support.  

Also Antonio I don't understand why you're sad SD (which have an immigration policy that is more restrictive than Arizona Republicans) loose ground to left-wing parties with principles.

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.

[Tender Branson]

Turnout is still an amazing 88%, the highest since about 30 years.

Take that Americans and learn !

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Rasmussen III has conceded.

Well, the SD's position is certainly driven by cowardice more than anything else (not that I approve of it, to the contrary I'd probably have voted SF this time), but I think a strong social-democratic party is more likely to preserve and maybe expand Welfare State in a coherent and economically effective way. B is socially liberal, open minded and is the party I'm closest to for any issue except economics ; but on economics, it is a center-right party, and that means the economic center-right accounts for almost 60% of the Danish vote, which is quite sad to me.

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.  

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Rasmussen III has conceded.

For some reason I thought this was an Egyptian Pharaoh

[Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese]

Is Thoring-Schmidt just really tall or is Lökke Rasmussen really short? Looks a bit weird when they're standing next to eachother and she's so much taller.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

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.

Maps? Yes. Of course. I may have some by the huge constituencies up very soon (just as general test things), but the fun ones will take longer. Maybe tomorrow afternoon or evening? Ideally? We shall see.

[You kip if you want to...]

Well done Helle! Shame that Venstre is still the largest party, but still, i'm glad

Greenland/Faroe results?

Greenland/Faroe results?

Greenland seems to be:
Siumut 47.46
Inuit Community 35.84
Atassut 8.87
Democrats 5.78

Doesn't seem to be all counted though. Still a shocking huge Siumut victory.

[Jackson]

Faroe Islands
                                                  Seats              Change
Union Party 30.8%                        1                  
Social Democrats 21.0%               1                     +1
Republic 19.4%                                                    -1
People's Party 19.0%
Centre Party 4.2%
Self-Government Party 2.3%
Independents 3.3%

Essentially the Social Democratic party gains a seat, and Republic loses a seat.
