In Denmark, each political party has an independent “youth” version for members under 30 years old. They act as places where people as young as 15 years old can practice the art of politics.
With the parliamentary elections looming around the corner, few political parties seem ready.
- The main candidate from the “red” block, current prime-minister Mette Frederiksen, has never been so unpopular.
- The “blue” block cannot even decide on a prime-minister candidate, with the Conservatives challenging Venstre’s (Liberals) status as leaders of the “blue” parties. Venstre is losing big name after big name (7 of their most voted candidates will not run again) and is going down in the opinion polls.
- The “infamous” DF that made life really hard for internationals for almost a decade now is crumbling into pieces. One after another, their members of the Danish Parliament are leaving the party. Six left this week. Others are preparing to leave. DF has remained with 10 members of the Danish Parliament.
