Ok, now it sounds less impressive and more like our derpy thing.
I am still not sure if i understand why the "red block" (right?) is winning the election?
What is the big selling point? It can't be that, can it?
Or is it just that the government is unpopular due to political or economic or moral failings?
The SDs are campaigning on a bunch of other areas. The red block (yes, that's the right term) does have concrete suggestions between its parties. They promise a bunch of different things which I could list, but like, there are five parties atm, whose concrete suggestions would require some work to put together beyond my scope of participation here on CFC. But I should probably do that anyways for the sake of this thread. I'll give myself a deadline by Sunday, and if it's not there then, poke me.
That said, the majority of concrete propositions are exactly due to political, economic and moral failings on the side of the right. Because they're rollbacks or fundamental restructurings of initiatives and cuts already done by the right.
One big point of the SD is that recently, the big state media conglomorate known as Denmark's Radio was
heavily cut to the degree that it had to do away with major sections of its production. Like, a 20% cut in budget. That causes chaos. For example, they used to sport around 200 radio drama series if I remember correctly (I might not, but it's not below 100) and they all disappeared during that major cut by the right since the last election. This was largely unpopular, as Denmark's Radio (DR) actually produces a lot of high-quality stuff with a reasonably high degree of journalistic integrity, its bias being effectively neutral to the Danish standard of politics although sometimes caving in to somewhat unimportant news for the sake of viewership. And for the more silly stuff they produce, people
care about that. The right doesn't like the Danish status quo, as our state-influenced market economy and tax system is a quite red shade of capitalism, and as such has called DR "de røde lejesvende" or "the red mercenaries" as part of their spin. DR wasn't the only thing to be cut here, they've also heavily went into the budgeting of public transportation and higher education (and education in general). So this is one of SD's suggestions, to get the budget of DR back up to where it used to be, among other things, funded through a tax increase. On immigration, SD is actually near the same side as Venstre (Liberals) and beyond. They also concretely want to increase foreign aid (which has been heavily cut by the right) as a part of their plan to decrease immigration to Denmark, reinvest money into hospitals that the right has cut, etc.
But that's the whole thing, most of the proposals are reactive in nature, which I think is dangeorus. Being reactive makes you seem less powerful. SD are not alone in this, in that
a lot of the left's concrete propositions are just reactions to the right's abysmal policies the recent years.
But it might otherwise work. People
are drawn to "the good old days" and the social liberal voters of Denmark are quite sick of the state of things. See, the majority of Danes are still abhorred by the racism the right uses to court the poor; their strategy was basically to do that
and lower taxes for the middle class to ensure votes. But Danes are actually quite socially aware still, and many dislike that our poor are losing money, it is a big no-no even to a host of the middle class people. I feel there's a sense of rhetoric among people, that they want to get Denmark back into shape by voting left of centre, Making Denmark Great Again, so to speak. Which I find kind of interesting.
Also, btw, the right is expected to land about 39% of the votes according to the latest metric I've read. It's
abysmal for their standards and
is largely caused by people's abhorrence at stuff like the asylum centres, the burqa ban, the island deportation proposition and the lowering of subsidies to immigrants. Petty stuff, even insignificant stuff like making your police confiscate jewelry from immigrants upon arrival does count in conjuction with people's sense of moralit. At the same time, the right is being radicalized and yes stuff like Stram Kurs is stealing votes from the Danish People's Party.
