I take it you've never had to navigate the French miasma of bureaucracy and acronyms, which has this stunning example: The road signs showing the way to the train station often just say "SNCF" and nothing else. No little picture of a train to make it international / accessible, just those four letters and if you don't know what they stand for, gently caress you, I guess. jeebus bob fucked around with this message at 10:23 on Nov 6, 2020 |

The Danish right wing has been in tatters since the last election (and even quite a while before that), let's see what their largest think tank has to offer as a collective focus to get them out of the current situation: https://twitter.com/CEPOS/status/1346075357867364352 I'm assuming this is intended for after the pandemic is over...

A good friend of mine has always had an ultra-libertarian laissez-faire approach to absolutely everything. Member of Venstres Ungdom and all that back ine 90s/00s. But at the same time he's a physicist and can understand the math behind climate change so lately he's in the unique position of trying to decide whether to vote for Enhedslisten or Liberal Alliance. It's fascinating to observe from the outside. Also he was an early adopter of Bitcoin and now SKAT is bending him over a barrel for "speculation" in something he initially acquired as a joke back when one bitcoin might pay for half a restaurant meal if you could get a buddy to pick up the tab and accept digital monopoly money as payment. I feel bad for him but I can't deny there's an element of schadenfreude after all those years of having to listen to him extol the virtues of cryptocurrency... jeebus bob fucked around with this message at 09:24 on May 5, 2021 |

If we have to qualify all our references instead of using the most convenient shorthand to describe something, every post ITT would be a wall of text. But just to satisfy your barely verbalized demand for a shibboleth: Socialdemokraterne are a bunch of racist neoliberals that take the support of the working class voters for granted and will say or do anything to retain power. Their elected leadership hasn't been anywhere near leftwing since at least the 70's, with maybe a few (partial) exceptions.

All of this could have been avoided if C had decided to face reality, rather than stay in their neoliberal fantasy world. If only Ø had had the courage to do the same in instead of letting B pressure Thorning-Schmidt into <doing what she probably would've done anyway>

Löfven is really going to make us wait for the governement to "evaluate their options" insted of sacking up and stepping down. How does he imagine this could gain them an advantage? Never mind the fact that they must've gamed this out in advance and should already have a plan in place.

What everyone - especially C voters - seems to be forgetting is that they are equally dependent on V for any form of coalition that doesn't include SD. Barring the possibility of a cross-center grand coalition, which reeks of desperation and typically means death for the minor partner(s). Substitute C, V and SD for B, Ø and DF at your convenience

BigglesSWE posted:https://twitter.com/vpressfeldt/status/1412605077139906562?s=21 OK seriously now, someone who went to journalism school explain this strategy to me. I assume there's a tried and tested reason for never ever confronting people head on when they or their group say stuff like this but, like, why does noone ever break from that principle? Maybe someone old and established who knows they wont't starve even if they torpedo their career by asking the questions we all want to hear? I genuinely think it wouldn't have gotten to this point if journalists had been less careful about pointed (and to an extent biased) questions.

If you can trust wikipedia it has pretty detailed results already: https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stortingsvalget_2021 Interesting to note that Oslo is more right-leaning than the country. I always assumed (and have generally seen it confirmed) that most big cities, especially capital cities, would always be more left-leaning than their respective countries so I'd like to hear from some locals why that isn't the case here.

I don't remember how much I ended up paying (20ish years ago), but probably half of it was extra lessons and failed practical exams. I was and am an excellent driver, but at the time my adhd was neither diagnosed or even suspected and the whole thing was a massive struggle.

The weirdest thing about the Claus Hjort mess is how quickly and forecefully the right wing papers started pushing the narrative that if (or in their words: when) he is found not guilty, the mere fact that he was charged will reflect so poorly on the government - which to the best of my knowledge can not and did not instruct the judiciary to charge anyone with anything - that they will have to resign.

Like the flu it's still potentially very dangerous for people who are already in bad health and/or can't be vaccinated for whatever reason but the authorities at this point have just gone "welp" and that sucks but I can understand the big picture reasons for why they did it. I'm just lucky that I am unlikely to suffer any long term consequences when/if I get it.

The youth wing of the Danish conservatives (briefly) held the position that membership of LGBT+ Denmark was grounds for exclusion. They've done a complete 180 since this morning, and no one from either the main party org or the youth wing itself has any comments. Not that it makes a difference but in case anyone didn't know, the leader of the party came out as gay in 2014, shortly before being elected. in short: lol

Oh for sure, and the original statement from conservative youth made it clear that the decision was about opposing the leftist stance of another org, but it did not make it clear that it WASN'T also about lgbtq issues in general. Just piss poor communication and optics, even considering it's a youth-led group.
