Election ind Denmark. New prime minister named Hell

Her husband also is the son of Neil Kinnock, former British EU Commissioner (Labour). The couple was accused of tax evasion not long ago...
... by a tabloid newspaper. The authorities has aquitted the couple completely for any wrongdoing and taken all responsability for the tax deductions she was awarded that she should not have had. Imo blame the authorities for not doing their job, even with Thornings accountant pointing out the irregularity to them for years without that generating any form of response.

I'm much more interested if any right wing (now former) ministers or their spin doctors had any role in leaking confidential information to the tabloid newspapers, since only a handfull of people had access to the information, the above included.
 
Ah, so they got tax deductions that they shouldn't have gotten under the law but never had to care about paying them back because the authorities had it wrong? Leaves a taste for me.
 
I'm pretty convinced she will be a good PM, even though I'm no Social Democrat.

Must be nice. In the US you're responsible if the IRS makes a mistake.
 
Pardon me for bumping, but I think this is worth it:

Helle Thorning and the former PM Lars Løkke Rasmussen in a little conversation. Wonder what they are saying. :D

Well, for what it's worth, you now have the world's hottest head of state (female division). What is she, 2 metres tall?

Anyway, good luck to Denmark and give 'em Helle!
 
The cute girl to the left lives in my neighborhood. She's the leader of Enhedslisten, the revolutionary socialists. I have met her a coulke of times. Last time she was a doorstep charity collector for "red barnet" (save the child). She had the highest number of personal votes. My sister btw lives right next to Helle Thorning.
Nah...
If you want me to get in on the babe checking part of this thread you'll have to tell me about the right one.

Costa Ricans may object.

In other news:
It took Denmark roughly 5 month to end this.
Elections matter.

I don't thinsk she's more than 1,70 or 1,75 or something. It's just the other guy who's very short. :)

Yep. Thank God.

Another first:

This guy is the new minister for Equality and Church. Yes, we have a minister for the church! THE church. The danish national church. He's born in India and the first minister from another country. This has caused some controversy. Partly, I think, because people assume he's muslim. Which he isn't.

But then again, it doesn't say anywhere that the ministers has to belong to any certain religion. Not even the minister for ecclesiastical affairs.

Correction: Actually he's only the second minister with immigrant background. But he's the first from outside Europe.
 
He also got a position with hardly any work and a big salary...
 
Haha... are you stalkers or something..? :crazyeye:

Naah, just kidding. That's really cool - please remind Johanne when you see her again that some guy, avid Civ-player and sitting in Aarhus, looking out the window at the beatiful lake below, could be her true soulmate. :mischief:
So nice of you to fix Yoda with a date.
 
Helle is a social democrat, and this marks the end of ten years of conservative rule with support from the right wing nationalists

In this case, the terms "conservative" and "right wing" actually mean "extreme liberal/left-wing, but not as extreme liberal/left-wing as the other guys"
 
Didn't you use to have 'Aarhus' as your location? ;)
