I hope he comes back. Even if only to post in this thread.

[minionofmidas]

That'S what I get with a Chrome translation to German too, though. "Der Lohn muss abgeschafft werden." I don't agree at all, obviously.
Some others are weirdl, too. Question 12, going verbatim from German to English: "Profit you time, that 4-2 years has reduced, be prolonged again."

The result is in just an order of parties, right? In the top right?

Sozialdemokraten
RV
K (wtf?)
SF
DF
V
Liberal Alliance
Enhedslisten
KD

Quite strange even taking into account the comprehension issues.

[minionofmidas]

Ah, I see now. It doesn't work in google-translate.

So, retaking it in Danish with half-remembered meanings...

Enhedslisten 68
Social Democrats 60
SF 58
KD 55
RV 50
Alliance 41
C 37
DF 30
V 20

[minionofmidas]

a policy popular among people in physical hard and low or  unskilled job, who rather than working until they collapse or need to go on førtidspension (early retirement for people with chronic diseases) go on efterløn. It's deeply unpopular among the academics and blue collars who feel the deep injustice of paying to something which primary benefit others than themselves.

Either you meant "white collars" here or...

[minionofmidas]

"F"?

[minionofmidas]

"F"?

A little repetition ;-)

A = Socialdemokratiet (Social Democrats). Alt. S or SD
B = Radikale Venstre (Social Liberal Party. Litt. Radical Left). Alt. R or RV
C = Konservative Folkeparti (Conservative People's Party). Alt. K
F = Socialistisk Folkeparti (Socialist People's Party). Alt. SF (most common)
I = Liberal Alliance. Alt. LA
K = Kristendemokraterne (Christian Democrats). Alt. KD
O = Dansk Folkeparti (Danish People's Party). Alt. DF
V = Venstre (Liberal Party. Litt. Left).
Ø = Enhedslisten (Unity List). Alt. EL

Yeah, the only one of these I ever can remember is A. (And V because it's obvious, obviously.)

[minionofmidas]

What's with KD's stronghold area?

[minionofmidas]

Urgh.

[minionofmidas]

These are pretty huge results for Ö and I, right?

[minionofmidas]

LOL.

90-89 for the Right.

This turns out to have been an error: http://politiken.dk/politik/ECE1394098/exitpoll-broeler-paa-tv-2-blaa-blok-stod-til-90-mandater/

Bless the lord.

[minionofmidas]

If I'm understanding the graphics, with 0.7% of the vote counted, it's 93 for the bad guys to 86 for the good guys

That is unless the crazy NAZI party sits with the right.

Where else would they sit?

(Oh, and four seats are distributed in semi-independent places with completely different party systems. That doesn't stop parties from relying on their support in parliament, but it's worth noting and it's why the numbers at Tender's link only add to 185 seats.)

Does anyone understand the Danish vote counting system ?

It's like the total number of votes are already in there and they are modified to  become "more correct" with more precincts in ...

weird !

So it's a projection. *shrug*

[minionofmidas]

All the district that have completed their count yet are from Jutland. With is a good sign for the left as well, I guess.

Not if these are projections. In that case, it means more uncertainty.

[minionofmidas]

Ah, I see now. The dst.dk thing is current partial result, from completed count municipalities only, and of course that is currently quite slanted to the right. Even in the projection though, the left is now barely ahead in mainland Denmark and the Social Democrats are behind Venstre.

[minionofmidas]

Let's better hope that Greenland and Faroer really elects 3 left wingers and 1 right winger and not 2-2.

Last legislative election in Greenland...

Socialist Independentists 44%
Social Democrats in all but name 27%
Centrist / Centre-right / white people's party 13%
Conservatives 11%

Yeah, unlikely there's a right-wing seat here.

Then again, anything can happen in the Faeroes - they too have four main parties, sort of representing the same spectrum (but without the racial vote base thing obviously) and they're much closer to even.

[minionofmidas]

Where do you see the projections ? Can't watch the live stream cause I'm already watching the French primary debate.

http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Temaer/2011/Valg/Resultater/resultater.htm

[minionofmidas]

83% in, and it's 89-86 again.

The last couple of times, it was a seat flipping back and forth between B and Liberal Alliance.

[minionofmidas]

F loss is a result of Ø and R being the new in parties for young voters and academics, and Muslim voters leaving the party (through that barely count for one percent point loss).

Where to?

[minionofmidas]

C have just dropped below I.

Yep.

V 47, A 44, O 22, B 16, F 16, Ö 12, I 8, C 8 seems to be set in stone... and then the last seat could go B, I, C or possibly even elsewhere.

[minionofmidas]

Hope someone finds this interesting.

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

[minionofmidas]

All hail King Shilly the Lurker!

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

And you shall receive.

I love you. In an intensely physical but nonetheless platonic way.
