No, and dog biscuits don’t as far as I know contain dog. Legislation cares primarily about honest labelling and non-misleading descriptions. “Tea biscuit” doesn’t mislead people into thinking there’s tea in them because it’s long-understood to be a type of biscuit. Chocolate is on the other

Electing NF they managed the latter and for them it isn’t a problem that he isn’t embedded in constituency matters because no other MP would be able to do much, if anything, for them anyway.

I think Clacton got exactly what they voted for. They know that a constituency MP can’t make any difference to the state of that area and wanted to give a two finger salute to the political establishment.

People who had exercised their treaty rights to settle in another jurisdiction were protected. All EU citizens still enjoy freedom of movement, so nothing substantially changed. Since you are no longer an EU citizen there is no right to protect.

Well… People don’t obtain an EU citizenship, they obtain a citizenship in an EU country and by that get EU citizenship. Us EU citizens only get to be EU citizens because our country hasn’t left the EU.

Oh, its football related. So it is my lack of interest in football and not my language skills. I was perfectly happy with them loosing because we will not have to endure wall to wall football coverage.

It might just be because English is a second language, but I really don’t understand the point of this meme.

Bestemt. Men dansk politik og især dansk kommunalpolitik herunder valg er så fremmed for Briter, at det kunne lige så godt foregå på Mars.
Der er ikke en forklaring men 98 forklaringer.

And for completion. Despite a poor election for the Social Democratic Party in general they did increase their share of votes in Aarhus (Denmarks second largest city). But they have a popular mayor who is distant from what happens in the national government.

I am Danish but have lived in the UK for 13 years so have a feeling for both systems. Near enough everything is different (save for voting) and there is not really any comparison.

And in the rest of the country they lost to all manners of different parties to the left or right. There are many reasons why Danish local elections can’t be used as examples for British politics.

I don’t really either but the left of left also lost to the left so I will still mean it is more a redistribution.

In Copenhagen there were 25 parties standing for 55 seats. 10 parties elected. The Democratic Socialists came second to the Socialist Party. The former could find a majority which the latter couldnt so they got the job as Lord Mayor.

other) ended up pointing at the new Lord Mayor. So she, in theory, has backing from left to right.
Across Dk they have lost to many different parties and it would require time and pints to explain the municipal electoral processes and cultures enough to understand fully why this happened.

No. Fx in Copenhagen the new Lord Mayor is from the Democratic Socialist party (Socialistisk Folkeparti). They gained 4 seats in Cph. The Social Democratic Party lost 2 and so did the more radical Socialist party (Enhedslisten).

A left wing party can easily have an alliance with right wing parties with the Social Democratic party if they can be elected as Mayor.

Thats all over the place. DK has PR in local elections so there are many more parties to loose to. Municipal elections are also more about personal connections than national politics and party allegiance to national policies are not as important.

It was actually just a redistribution of left wing votes (if one considers SD as left wing).
From left to centre:
Enhedslisten -2
Socialistisk Folkeparti +4
Socialdemokratiet-2

I personally find the Danish immigration debate and legislation repugnant, but that discussion is over and done in Dk by now. The right wing nutters steal votes from each other but they don’t move many from the centre anymore.
