   We've got some pushback for the title/thumbnail of this video, so a bit of clarification: while the "red bloc" did indeed win a majority, it seems that Frederiksen has decided that the coalition is too unstable to govern. This is essentially because the other "red bloc" parties don't like the Social Democrats enough to provide reliable parliamentary support for their policies. This is why, on Wednesday morning, Frederiksen claimed that "there is no longer a majority behind the government in its current form; therefore, tomorrow I will submit the government’s resignation to the queen" (source: https://apnews.com/article/europe-legislature-denmark-government-and-politics-6051713a8bda8850afbc823718872892).
   Frederiksen will stay on as caretaker PM while she tries to negotiate a new centrist coalition, which she will most likely lead as PM. In theory, Frederiksen could have stayed on without resigning, and continued to rely on other "red bloc" parties for Parliamentary support, but she apparently decided this was untenable.
   Nonetheless, we appreciate that the title/thumbnail was a bit clickbaity, but hopefully this comment makes it a bit clearer.

   Here in Canada, the question is "How can I vote for Mette Frederiksen as the next Canadian prime minister?"

   Wait so the mink thing had no influence on why they resigned, they just wanted a more inclusive gov instead of a narrow majority?

    Lars Løkke Rasmussen is 17 years old, he got ready to celebrate his 18th birthday, he hired a large orchestra and wrote a contract bt.di enthusiastic payment because he was not of age when he wrote the contract Lars Løkke Rasmussen is a lie and what time Has have you ever seen a politician sit for 3 days to close the door with a fool's mouth because you can't get your way,
    
    Because you live in a total capitalist society, you don't have to look down on the Social Democrats of the year, you damn pig, if you have to report something, you have to investigate and have your facts in order, this is one of the cases where you should keep your mouth shut

    As A dane, I can only say there is 1 small mistake, the map shown at 00:15. This map does not show which block won in each region, the only thing THAT map showed was which regions the social democrats were the biggest party. This was shown too in Denmark, but, A more precise map has been made, and actually the shocking results is that the blue block, has won in the most regions. This is a small mistake, but I would say you are explaining it well nontheless 🙂 Good job!

    Biology of the epidemic was rapidly evolving and understanding was in flux.
    Danes were willing to sacrifice to help humanity avoid more deaths.
    Hopefully Denmark and the EU will coordinate better for the next rapid response to help us all improve under Western democracy.

    Why are you even commenting on Danish politics, you don't have the prerequisites to understand the intricacy or Mette Frederiksens great deception. We know what the globalist prostituts plans are, with regards to the EU: In the EU Commission's reflection paper on the completion of the economic and monetary union, which has recently been leaked, is the hope, that all member states by
    2025, has joined the Euro. It is not a requirement of the commission, but all member states are INVITED to implement
    the necessary preparations. THATS what the EU wants from Denmark and Mette Frederiksen is prepared to sacrifice all our reservations on the alter of the EU, just like the politicians have sacrificed the danish tax payers and our danish youth, on the altar of EU because of the harmonization directive.

    It is so bizare, that people are opposed to culling mink, that they literally bred to murder them. These animals would be executed anyways. Sure, if the other option would be to keep them alive I'd get it. But these mink would have been killed either way, why do people pretend to care, when they're killed sooner? Such a misinformed and emotional response to cute fluffballs being executed over safety reasons, but absolutely no uproar from the public, when the same cute fluffballs are executed over becoming an accesoir.

    4:02 … Stop being hypocritical… Those minks were destined to be killed for fur, and are probably living in horrible conditions. Being shocked that they all got killed now rather than let them live in horrible conditions a few more months THEN kill them anyway, and do the same to their babies, and the babies of their babies… it's ridiculous. Just stop animal exploitation altogether please.

    It had to be done, the advice she was given, gave no options. The risk that Denmark could develope into the epicenter of a new and potentially more deadly Covid strain, could not be justified. The legality of it is a mute point, the only thing they actually did wrong, wast to ignore the option of keeping a breeding population in isolation. People know this to be true, those who dont, dont for ideological reasons, and in case of party's outside the goverment, oppotunism.
    So, the goverment was not punishish by the electorate as the opposition expected, and the election ended up being about who should be in charge in a time of economic crisis, and most people know, that that the rightwingers only do one thing in times like this, redistribute wealth from the poor and the middleclass to the elites. So they mostly voted to their own benefit !

    As a Dane I hope the fur-lobby fo not mabage to push through a reboot of the businesd.
    These days producin fur is an embarassing and shamefull business. No-one "needs" fur and the business has been going downhill for years.
    Theonly reason it has'nt been closed yet is that itisas sacred as conventionel farming.
    It's all about the money and producers who refuse to do what everyone else does when their business goes in the hole; re-education and moving forward.

    Maybe don't spend all that money on airfare to race around the world, adding huge carbon emissions for each plane taking off and landing only to arrive in the same place when you could all be on the same flight, or, and hear me out, use the mail…not a very green idea, I guess, but you know…views and likes and the algorithm.

    How long will it take us to figure out that there's no such thing as an "airtight" quarantine to prevent COVID from spreading? It's part of our lives now, and it's not going anywhere. We could spend our entire lives in quarantine and it's still going to find a way to spread. Large Scale Quarantine is an archaic, destructive measure to counter pandemics, and we should find a better way in the future.

    Just for clarity. While the election came because of the whole mink clusterfuck, the election was not about that and instead focused on healthcare and the international situation (war, energi and going green). While many Danes, in their tribal frenzy, wants Mette in jail, many was in fact happy with how she has been as prime minister and the party's policies. Also, the blue bloc really didn't come with any solutions that was, by many, seen as tenable and that is also why so many has been seeking the middle (Moderaterne). As a Dane, I'm not affraid of any of the blocs taking power and when it comes to economics, Denmark does what is needed, because we are such a small country. Let us also remember that the bigger parties vote 90% of the time for the same laws. We do middle politics already in Denmark.

    Well the government in Denmark made the best decisions they could under the circumstances with the info they were provided.

    Can you imagine if it were a more Neo-liberal government who would be unwilling to cull any Minks or only those proven to be infectious. The spread of the new variant would have gone to humans eventually. If it turned out that the worries about these strain being vaccines resistant were accurate we might still be only now just getting vaccines.

    Any red or blue part rarely had full power so one party can decide to jump out of the conspiracies (majority votes=agreement about a law). This will result in missing votes on almost everything or a lot. Each part of blue or red won't get what they wanted in that situation.
