I just thought it might be interesting for all of you to hear a bit of news from Denmark.
Election
First of all the election yesterday ended with a very slim victory to the socialist/liberal block. That means the Social Democratic prime minister, Mette Frederiksen in all probability will continue. New thing is that after 20 years of division and thunderous rhetoric, everybody now seem to prefer centrism and calm.
Climate change and saving the welfare system in face of all the things that happen in the world was on top of the topic's list, and Denmark will in all probability carry on as usual.
@nevies book is being registered :)
The book of Ifeanyi "Nevies" Eluu just showed up in the Danish Library Database. It is still in new titles so more info will be added.
Elisabeth died
Rock-punk-pop singer Elisabeth G. Nielsen died. I really liked her when I was younger. She only became 65 years old. Here's two songs that I like. THe last one has her on chorus, the first one is her singing.
Lovely music! So young. I wonder what happened to her. I tried to find out, but all articles about her are in Danish.
Congrats again on the book.
It was some fast and wicked form of cancer - at first no one knew, but her daughters made a short note for the press a couple of days after her death.
Nyheder fra Danmark er ikke noget vi får serveret her i USA... så tak for det!
Selv om mine fætre og kusiner gerne snakker politik, er de langt mere interesserede i det amerikanske cirkus end det hjemlige.
Tiden flyver. Elisabeths død er an aktuel påmindelse om at jeg er fram samme generation...

Ja, tingene er sjældent så dramatiske some over there, men der er jo lidt at sige om sagen. Jeg læser tit svenske aviser og på det seneste også online aviser fra Nigeria og Ghana fordi de skriver på engelsk. Mest for at få lidt andre ting ind under håret end bare de sædvanlige historier som alle nyhedsmedierne skriver om.
Måske jeg skal lave en igen om et par måneder :)
Ay, er selv igang med at skrive en lille post omkring valget :D
Du kan nok gøre det lidt mere ære end jeg har gjort her
Det er jeg ikke sikker på jeg kan :D
Det er også bare et hurtigt overview og mere fokus på hvad folk selv ville gå ind i politik med, hvis de ville :D
Se om folk gider at joine sådan en post for sjov :D
Der kommer til at gå nogle timer. Måske endda først imorgen!
Fino fino :)
Jeg holder øje med det og reposter den når du er klar.
There is a lot to be said for non-extremist politics. I would happily have less drama in UK politics, but we are stuck with the Tories for a while at least.
I don't think I've heard Elisabeth G. Nielsen before, but I enjoyed the music.
Stay well and good luck with the book.
We were early starters and both Swedes and Germans called us racist - now they do exactly the same, so maybe it is simply a matter of time that has to pass... We've had our versions of Farage, Truss and Boris.
Danish music is often only known in Scandinavia, but I'm glad you like it.
