Left or left?

"Is Denmark... like... Ehm... a socialist country?" The answer is probably yes if you see it from an American point of view. We are not communist though, just want to make it clear.

All the 8 parties in our parliament would probably be placed on the democratic side in America. The party that's economical most liberal wants our taxes down to 40 %.... And people think that unrealistic. Have I said enough? Not that I think it's a problem to be honest. We might pay very high taxes, but on the other hand we get free healthcare, college and such.

I just joined a political youth party, called Radikal Ungdom. It's like the party right in the middle of the Danish political scale. Their economical goals are more rightwing, while their views on social issues such as immigrants are pretty liberal and more leftwing. I went to my first meeting Wednesday and had a good time. The election for the county boards are coming up, so you might find me climbing lampposts to put up election posters.

Right now I'm on a train, it seems like a new tradition to blog from the train. I'm on the way to a YFU weekend for returned exchange students. Got about 24 hours to bond with them, but it's usually pretty easy, because we got that one year in common.
