With all votes counted, the left-wing bloc was credited with 84 seats in the 179-seat parliament and the right with 77. Frederikson, a favorite going into elections, has been praised for her leadership after fending off US President Trump’s repeated demands to annex Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory.
What the left needs to do, is combat the right wing’s own weaponry. Steer the algorithms to the left’s will, media literacy, drastically crush mass financing of fascist and rightist parties by wealthy individuals or organisations, encourage people check what’s owned by whom.
If you’re strong in your shoes and ideals, talk to people you’d consider right-wing. Question, don’t criticise. Make them feel welcomed at yours.
Subscribe to left news, be a party member, join worker cooperatives, strike, support, protect; arm and prepare, insurrection. On any social media, report, block, don’t interact with far right people. Pull people away from billionnaire-owned media.
One doesn’t need to do everything – one only needs to do some of these. Whatever your reasons, whatever you want - anything helps, but DO something.
The right could do that because they have most major corporations on their side. How is the left going to do that?
With strong leadership and policies that actually help people?
That doesn’t sound like “the right’s own weaponry” to me.
You’re right. I lost track of the thread.
What on earth does that have to do with the Danish election?
The Danish left had a pretty solid election this year. The reason why the Social Democrats have lost voters has more to do with internal Danish politics than anything going on in geopolitics.
The Moderates and Venstre (Left) were in government with the Social Democrats for awhile and people have grown tired with them for different reasons. Also, Venstre (Left) are a right wing party, despite the name and the Social Democrats are no longer considered a left wing party by most Danes, but more so a center party just like the Moderates. Their goal is to have a centered government and people are trying to pull them to the left now, because we need our government to focus on environmental and social issues at home.
Venstre (Left) had the worst election result in the party’s history because they have had farmers lobbying for them for decades, which has lead to our current environmental crisis in our country.
The Social Democrats have still won the election despite losing voters. They were the party who had the most votes out of all parties in Denmark and it is Mette Frederiksen’s job currently to negotiate what constellation of government we will have. If she and Lars Løkke of the Moderates decide to form a government with Venstre again, they will be fucking toast next election. The Danes want a red government - red is left wing in Denmark. We are done with the blues and we are done with their anti environmental politics.
When it comes to all issues relating to Greenland and Ukraine, etc, it is not relevant because no matter what government we would end up with, every party agrees on Greenland and Ukraine. The fact that international news are trying to drag Greenland into the election is just misleading clickbait to make ignorant outsiders think that the Danes are punishing our Prime Minister for going against Trump. Nothing could be further from the truth. Even the biggest MAGA dickriders in Danish Politics have withdrawn their support for him and are now trying to play the nationalist card and how we must stand together for Greenland.
Denmark is not the US. Not even close, and I would appreciate that people read up on it before spewing a bunch of irrelevant nonsense.
