Local elections in Denmark

A bit more about the elections (just for my own fun)

Other people's as well - I can't think of much to comment, but I'm certainly reading this thread

Really - your knowledge of Danish local politics is that limited

I remember something about Copenhagen being left controlled since the first decade of the twentieth century or something and about there being a small area inside the city that isn't in the city and which is right controlled since ever.

Bump!

Is there a site with detailed figures?

www.kmdvalg.dk for both regional and municipal elections

Diolch yn fawr!

Might make a few maps later.

Currently going through the results and doing a map of leading party (mostly as a badly disguised excuse to learn more about local politics in Denmark, lol)... and... well... what sort of place is Lolland?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Errors certain, but I had fun anyway - I love how the obviously different political cultures of different places seem to show up so well. Key is for future reference, or something. Btw, if I ever do party vote maps for an election in Denmark I won't use purple for SF - just using it to distinguish easily from the Social Democrats.

A lolworthy one?

Yes, I thought that name wonderful as well... but what I was getting at; SD first, SF second in what is presumably a fairly rural area. It doesn't seem to be a personal vote issue or anything as the same was true of the regional elections there...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Same, but for the regional elections.

And here comes the man with the answers (I spend my childhood in the area).

Really? Ah, got to love random coincidence on threads about voting patterns

Thanks for the explanation - I'd guessed industrial-agriculture for the left lean in general, but the strength of SF was the surprise. Makes sense now.

Remember that Al's maps only shows the largest party which twists the map a bit. My Mayor map gives a better overall impression of the left-right distribution.

That's a pretty good explanation, as brief explanations go.
