Politics

November 4th, 2007, Discussion

Denmark has an interesting political structure.

Firstly it’s a multi-party system, so most bills are only approved after negotiation and compromise between opposing parties who form a ruling government coalition. Secondly general elections are not decided by physical votes from the population, but rather by counting the number of placards erected around the city minus the number that have been vandalised. No wonder they have turnouts of over 85%.

OK, so one of those isn’t true, but on a serious note, Enhedslisten (the Red-Green Alliance) are the only ones to have highly innovative campaign designs. One of their comrades even gave me a free cup of coffee this morning as I cycled past her. It’s a shame it was wasted as I’m only allowed to vote in local elections.
