Approx. 30 minutes ago, the Danish prime minister, Anders "Fjog" Rasmussen called a prime election with vote date november 13th 2007. This means that for the next 3 weeks various political parties are going to vying for my personal vote, selling themselves like prostitutes on speed.

Problem is that this year I actually want to VOTE instead of putting my "x" down after the eniey-miney-moe method that most of my peers seems to favour.

So if anyone could help me figure the differences out between the various chair-hoggers and their respective cheerleading squads (read: Political parties), I would be most gratefull.

Yes, this is mostly for the Danish members of JREF, but I figured it could make for a nice debate.......
 
Oh no... Not this again. The media pitch is already rising - why is it that they immediately go into tactical analysis mode? I want to hear about the issues!

I'll have to get used to it. At least it's only three weeks.
 
Sigh, we have to put up with 6 weeks of this dribble as well - If you Dannes figure a good way to come up with a good choice, can you send the info down under, cause we could sure us the help ;)

P.S can we have our princess back lol

It's really rather easy: You take the one that is least ridiculous of those least likely to cooperate with the ultra right wing.

If that leaves you with nobody, you flip a coin. If you don't like the result of that, you flip again ... etc.

Absolutely not! How about a couple of princes?

The 13/11? At least I'll be back from China by then (and I'll "miss" a whole week of the cheerleading :D )

Yes, but could you take the rest of the royal family as well? Some of us would really like to get with modern times and lose the monarchy. And the state church, that's up for grabs as well as far as I'm concerned.

You only have 3 weeks of cheerleading?!!! We've been dealing with it for months and our election isn't until November 2008!

In our dreams. The entire political establishment has been in elction mode for at least two months.

Also The_Fire could you perhaps give us some ideas of what parties you're considering, where you stand politically, what issues you particuarly care about and such? Giving a total oveview of the opinions of all political parties on all concievable subjects might be a bit much.

Haven't they been at it for weeks already?

For years, as far as I recall. Not that analyses on this level aren't interesting and important, e.g. why was the election called now? But when that's all the coverage there is, it feels like everyone is treating this like a sports match.
 
I'm not Danish, but... Radikale Venstre FTW! For those with truly liberal hearts.

Well, as long as I'm not doing the kissing.... Actually, I meant, of course, that you can have a couple of our princes instead of Mary. I'm not that much of a royalist, but if we are to have a crown princess at all, she is certainly a good bet if I ever saw one.

Elections on Tuesday ? Damn, why do we always have them on Sunday here ?
 
Waah, you guys have too many parties. I can't decide...

Christian Democrats :) !

Actually, I'd go with Enhedslisten, Socialistisk Folkeparti, Socialdemokraterne, or Det Radikale Venstre.

I can't decide between them without actually speaking the language.
 
I am in favour of whoever backs the emigre vote, and wishes to give vast tax breaks and large cash rewards to lure them back to Danmark. I suppose also plans to build a huge university in Falster, preferably on my family land, would also be good. OK, someone tell me the actual issues, as I think I get a vote...
