Sorry, I was a bit imprecise - Basically, the block distribution (rød/blå blok) has been stable (65/35).

But agreed, Copenhagen still reflects a left victory. I still find it a bit overseen that Å+SF+Ø did not achieve the majority, but instead inherited the broad coalition of S.

If anything, they are more bound to harshen their stance, to regain the votes they have lost to the right.

Nationally, the Danish Right *advanced* relative to the Left.

Center-left parties will have a hard time of winning office if they do not follow majority sentiment on immigration. It does not harm their cause if more progressive voters then choose far-left parties, which better represent their interests.

Is it what he says in the clip, though?

As a Dane arriving to America, the difference in the extent to which safe&tried drugs are consumed is staggering.

This seems a bit different to be anti-vax.

a next frontier, because we have tools that are so much better at analyzing text.

Luckily downloadable.

One general take: I find deliberative democracy to be the most empirically underrated topic of study.

We have a lot of studies on substantive and descriptive representation bcz of surveys and brief bio data, but understanding how preferences evolve in deliberation seems like

so well put
