Denmark leans left.

With 88 percent of the votes counted, votes are now coming in from the big cities, and it looks increasingly difficult for the right wing parties.

The far right nationalists of DF have been victorious, taking 11 new seats in parliament. But it may be in vain as the right wing block as a whole is now behind the left with just 77 seats to 84.

Clearly, the left wing parties have reason for optimism, but it will be another hour or two before a clear winner is announced.

@randahl please! Another country needs to kick the right wing where it hurts.
@randahl
as far as I know left and right are switched in Denmark, now I'm confused
@Joe_von_Saporski @randahl They aren't switched but, one of the right wing parties is named "Venstre" (literally "Left") which adds to the confusion.
@Joe_von_Saporski oh, and the party called "Radical Left" is a green center party and "Liberal Alliance" is a right wing party. At least the "Conservatives" are actually pretty conservative.
@s_d_brath
thanks, but now im confused more : D
let's hope for the best
@randahl hopefully this is the start of something good in europe

@randahl i am sick of moderaterne. I am sick of Lars Løkke.

He thinks he's so great. He thinks to take the golden middle way; to leave a better world for his childrens children?

But he does not want to tax wealth. He does not want to go "too hard" for green energy.

He talks about not breaking the mighty branches on the tree that is Danish Society? He just wants to maintain the status quo.

I wish one of the right parties would ally with the whole left, leaving moderaterne out.

@rasmus91 I fully understand your view, but I must hand it to Løkke: People are buying what he is selling.

@randahl people are apparently also buying what Alex Vanopslagh is selling, same for Morten Messerschmidt.

Does not mean it's worth anything. 😮‍💨

Løkke is not the worst. I just really hated his smug attitude.

@rasmus91 @randahl his politics are shit, but I actually think he has done a rather good job as our foreign minister.
@s_d_brath @randahl yes. Distasteful though I find it 😛
@randahl we can probably trust Mette to fuck this up by “building a government across the middle”p which nobody asked for”… again.
