Post-election - now what?

Yesterday saw the biggest shift in Danish politics - ever!

One party was effectively halved, making it VERY difficult for them to get pretty much anything done. The party in question is the Danish People Party, or simply DPP. Their political agenda is to "protect Danish values", by making sure that we all eat pork, because that is apparently a Danish tradition. Granted, most of the meat we eat here is pork or pork-related, but it's not written into our Constitution, that we HAVE to eat it. One of their figures is gonna give up his seat to someone else, which makes me smile. It's one of two political parties that I despise.

The second one is called "Tight Course", and their agenda is simple: Denmark must deport every non-Western person who has received asylum and is not a native-born citizen of one Denmark's neighboring countries. Denmark must deport every non-Western person who isn't a Danish citizen. For non-Westerners with temporary visas, the visa will not be renewed. Non-Westerners with permanent legal status should also have their status revoked and be deported.

Foreigners who have received Danish citizenship by the legal naturalization process should have their citizenship reevaluated, with the assumption that it will be annulled. Foreigners who have received asylum in Denmark, should of course be deported immediately, given that the foundation for asylum is no longer valid. This applies to their offspring, as well. Thus, deportations to Bosnia and Kosovo obviously must begin immediately.

Every person without legal status in Denmark shall be interned until they can be deported. Individuals who lack legal status while they wait for response to a visa application will be deported while the case is under review. If deportation isn't possible, the applicant should be interned while the application is reviewed

Sound familiar?

However, there are a few things that prevent that from happening:

1: We have religious freedom in Denmark. You are free to practice any religion you want to, free from persecution.

2: There is something called human rights, that dictate that everyone is to be treated fairly - even if you don't agree with the person.

3: They need to be a huge party with majority, before they can even begin to execute their agenda

Now, regarding Tight Course, they needed 2% of the total votes to be able to get into Folketinget, and they received 1.7%. That means they are NOT coming in, which makes me VERY happy. I am just worried about those 1.7% who voted for them.

Regarding the current government, it's tradition for the Prime Minister to go to the Queen to formally resign, and to introduce the new Prime Minister. That will happen in about 2 hours time from now.

The party, that I voted for, won the election, so they will now spend a few weeks assembling the new government, that will lead us into the future. I am excited to see which direction the country is headed.
