Trump will not our foreign embassies fly the pride flag this month. Obama allowed embassies who requested fly the flag. But Trump has said he loves the LGBTQ community:redcard:. Although he said he loved the black community too, so...

This could change after the next election where the democratic primary sees multiple LGBTQ candidates and allies.

Well. A few points about the Danish election wednesday.

 

1: The anti immigration parties lost... or did they? The 3 parties focusing the most on immigration didn't do very well. The Danish Peoples Party lost 21 of their 37 seats, the slightly more right wing The New Right only just managed to get it taking 4 seats (but as a new party getting elected is hard itself) while Hard Line, the most extreme of the parties, didn't manage to get elected being 0,2 % below the threshold. But 20 of the 21 seats lost by DPP was gained by parties who have moved to a more sceptical position on immigration. But with Liberal Alliance losing 9 seats, it seems like the more pro-immigration parties gained a bit of ground with especially the Social-liberal party and the socialist people's party gaining 15 seats. This will also be one of the main struggles when it comes to a new government as all parties of the red block are more positive than the expected governing party, the Social Democrats.

2: The tendencies from the EP-election kept on. The parties who won the election, The liberal party, The social-liberal party, the socialist peoples party and the conservative party who had the best results were the ones gaining the most in the national parliament. The red-green alliance surprisingly lost a mandate after looking like a winner for a long time.

3: Government could be far away. The members f te "red block" could very well have a long summer holiday of negotiations. The 3 major struggles could very well be retirement, economy and immigration. It will be tough and a worst case scenarion could be another election in less than half a year, while another scenario could be the Social Democrats using the Liberal Party, maybe even talking about a government with them (I doubt this will happen). They sound positive so far, but it will be tough.


And as a side note, two good friends of mine were elected, including Katrine Robsøe who I did quite a bit of campaigning for! :clap:
