If you weren't so blinded by impotent nationalism, you'd see that this is nothing but a weak attempt at misdirection hammered into your mind by state propaganda.

Ebba Busch running out ahead and declaring that nothing has changed before the rest of the Alliance has even had times to spit their coffee. Nothing to see here.

They did. Ygeman and Johansson had to leave the government but Hultqvist stayed with Löfven's support.

KD and SD rages against Hultqvist. The rest of alliansen seems to have no clear idea of what they want.

Vänsterpartiet is angry at both S and Alliansen and also capitalism.

MP continues to be completely irrelevant.

Major parties from right to centre agree that prayer rooms in high schools are in fact crypto-Islamism and must be stopped. Turns out they're mainly used by Christians. Marie Krarup (Danish People's Party, fundamentalist Christian) exclaims, "Something must be wrong with the facts."

Hey, if they're gonna let a fear of Muslims result in a weakening of Christianity/religion in general within schools, then who are we to complain?

quote:

Dansk Folkepartis vælgere er således på flere områder langt mere autoritært og patriarkalsk indstillede end både den øvrige befolkning generelt og de muslimer, der bor i Danmark.

Dansk Folkepartis vælgere er f.eks. langt mere tilbøjelige til at mene, at det er acceptabelt at bruge revselse i børneopdragelsen, og at det er acceptabelt at arbejde sort, end det er tilfældet for den øvrige befolkning og det muslimske mindretal.

Dansk Folkepartis vælgere er ligeledes mere enige i, at dødsstraffen bør genindføres i Danmark, end andre grupper i samfundet.

4 ud af 10 af Dansk Folkepartis vælgere mener, at det er acceptabelt at give sine børn en lussing eller en endefuld – og en lige så stor andel mener, at sort arbejde er acceptabelt.

Til sammenligning mener kun 13 pct. af de øvrige danskere og 7 pct. af muslimerne i Danmark, at revselse af børn er acceptabelt, og 14 pct. og 13 pct. af hhv. den øvrige befolkning og muslimerne i Danmark mener, at sort arbejde er acceptabelt.

Cirka en fjerdedel af Dansk Folkepartis vælgere (23 pct.) støtter genindførelsen af dødsstraf i Danmark. Blandt den øvrige befolkning mener ca. hver tiende (9 pct.), at dødsstraffen bør genindføres, og blandt muslimerne i Danmark støtter 15 pct. dødsstraf.

Når det gælder spørgsmålet om mænds og kvinders roller i familien, ligger Dansk Folkepartis vælgere væsentlig tættere på muslimerne i Danmark, end man skulle tro, hvis man lyttede til Pia Kjærsgaard og Co.

Hver tiende af Dansk Folkepartis vælgere mener således ganske overraskende, at kvinder bør passe hjemmet og tage sig af børnene i stedet for at arbejde.

Dette svarer til billedet blandt de muslimer, der bor i Danmark, idet også hver tiende af de danske muslimer mener, at kvindens plads er i hjemmet. I den øvrige befolkning har denne holdning kun meget begrænset udbredelse – kun 1 pct. deler den.

I'm moving to Denmark this month from Canada. The state of Danish politics still befuddles me after the OP, and as a non-citizen I suppose I have time to learn. I'll be joining PROSA as I have a job at NNIT. My Danish so far is via completing Duolingo and repeatedly redoing lessons, so I suspect reading a deep review of Danish politics in Danish is going to have to wait... Anden spiser ikke kød, etc.

A Buttery Pastry posted:

Yeah, the lack of primer for Danish politics is a pity, but unsurprising, given the inherent laziness of the Swede. Anyway, I posted one earlier in the thread, but here's the updated version for the current political situation. I've also fixed a few inaccuracies from my last post.



Formerly the Social Democrats, the Social Democracy had its named changed by the new leader Mette Frederiksen to get the stench of the former leader off the party and to attempt to claim the entire Danish welfare state as their own. Whether it'll work to reverse the decades long pounding the party has been on the receiving end of only the future will tell.Their main supporters are people hoping to turn the clock back 50 years.



The Danish People's Party needs little introduction, having made their presence known on the European stage as their support has grown. Should the Social Democrats once again fail to address the issues which most worry their electorate, they could easily become the largest party in parliament in the next election. Should this happen, the party promises to subsidize pork production, and make its consumption mandatory in schools. The party is also a great supporter of sports and outdoors life, and see it as a way to take unruly kids off the streets and teach them discipline and order, and hopefully win glory and honor for Denmark at international competitions. Most likely to institute Sharia law, albeit accidentally.



A traditional liberal party and the party of farmers, they are for free markets and opposed to government intervention. The main focus of the current government has been to do everything in their power to support Danish farmers, through deregulation and redefining agricultural lands as nature. Whether this is enough to prevent a further loss of voters to the Danish People's Party only time will tell. Has recently become a bit adventurous, by throwing their weight behind non-land based farmers - supporting aquaculture projects that will trigger anoxia in most of the inner Danish waters.



The Red-Green Alliance is the primary party of left-leaning men, attracted by sexy spokeswomen. Has seen strong growth in recent years, due to the failures of traditional left-leaning parties.



A newish political party, Liberal Alliance is very pro-equality. Everyone should be judged equally harshly for not being rich, especially foreigners.



The Uber of political parties. Or maybe twitter. It's certainly disruptive though. What are their positions? No one is quite sure, but they seem to be enjoying themselves, and that is the most important part according to their manifest.



The Radical Left split off from the liberal party about a century ago, and has now matured into the urban version of the former. The Justin Trudeau of political parties.



What is there to say? The Socialist People's Party chased the populist vote but couldn't keep up, and now the party is falling apart. Their voters will likely be subsumed into The Alternative, since they at least know how to have fun.



Once upon a time a powerful ally of the near-absolute king, the current party has seen better days. In recent years, the party has attempted to ride the populist wave, but all this has managed to do is shed their traditional supporters in the Whiskey Belt, who would prefer everything to just not change, ever.



A brand new party, the New Bourgeoisie, is all about sovereignty. Sovereignty to not have to respect foreign bureaucrats, domestic bureaucrats, nature, and people who do not own a yacht.

Man Danes have a lot of different flavor of right wing parties but only one left. That sounds like hell, like USA-level hell.

That's just what it's called it in English. It's still Enhedslisten in Danish.

We enunciate exactly what we need to enunciate.

In Aarhus, in Gamle By, there's a display of postwar housing in Denmark, where you built your house from a kit, then an inspector came to deem it habitable.
In the video they interviewed an elderly woman, and watching the video I suddenly realized I could understand what she was saying in Danish very easily. I asked Mette why she spoke so clearly in the video, and got "oh that's how they used to teach you how to speak in school, but they stopped. Only the Queen talks like that now." as a response.
