Danish Election Results

Forgot to comment on the Danish election results. No surprises there, in fact, I'm pleased to be proved right, since Helle Thorning Schmidt's Socialist party got their lowest ever share of the vote. Great, so Danes are finally getting sick of socialism.

Furthermore, Venstre with their promises of no more tax rises (though taxes can hardly rise much above 70%, can they?), have teamed up with New Alliance (40% flat tax), so you can only be hopeful that something might give, even a bit.

Amusingly enough, the other part of the Venstre coalition is the Danske Folkeparti. Who are opposed to immigration, Denmark for the Danes (well white ones, some might say), and all that. While Alliance are all for more immigrants and more benefits for them, so those two should cancel each other out on this issue.
