Denmark’s election results reveal similarities between America and Denmark and the potential for an emergent conservative trend in the U.S. and Canada
Looks like Denmark’s tea party faction, the Danish People’s party (Dansk Folkkparti) has re emerged in great strength on the backs of social disappointment voters, angry over spending socialist funds on known terrorists, fumbled immigration, and the usual list of issues ranging from social services through trade, on to death and taxes.
What Denmark’s national election reveals is that Denmark’s voter support for the Danish People’s party, dumped what we in the USA would deem to be a liberal, Helle Thorning Schmidt for Lars Lokke Rasmussen, which is like trading out what was in effect a Hillary light, for a Rick Perry-style long-serving U.S. conservative.
What led to the polar reversal? It was many things; for instance, there was the constant internecine political bickering amongst factions reminiscent of America’s political left, often environmental-green factions caused trouble for Helle, also her cooperation with her opposition the Venstre party enflamed many on the left, further polarizing factions within the Danish left. Then there was a large and very damaging scandal for Helle that left Danish Socialists outraged over over a Goldman Sachs - DONG Energy sellout, resulting in yet again further internal party chaos via radical left wingers changing political allegiances in vociferous acts of rebellious anger.

Thanks for this info. I have Danish friends and have been watching their FB posts of despair since the election. I wasn’t really sure what the difference was between the two, because all you get is how terrible the other part is, without details. Now I know.
And the GOP is perfect, right? Led by a cabal of lying, snivelling cowards - Hello Mr Boehner and Mr Mitch McConnell.
No, the GOP isn’t perfect. Much of it is now part of the left, helping to foist the “din of lies and falsehoods” on the electorate.
