In Denmark, too, voters do not necessarily follow the waves of indignation of the political and media apparatus.
The legally voluntary culling of millions of mink, which was the reason for the new elections, did not result in Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen being punished.
Maybe many Danes even saw that as a leadership strength in a difficult moment of the Corona pandemic, in any case the Social Democrats are now stronger than before.
Unusual project
The fact that Frederiksen is striving for cross-camp cooperation with the bourgeois forces is unusual for the country's political culture, but given the international situation it is certainly not a far-fetched plan.
Domestic disputes are currently only helping opponents of the free West.
However, there is already a broad consensus between the political blocs in Denmark, and here the difference to Germany is particularly striking.
The asylum and integration policy, which used to occupy the country a lot, no longer played a major role in this election campaign because a restrictive course was agreed on here.
Frederiksen came up with the idea of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda even before the British did.
It's certainly not an ideal solution, but at least the country has agreed on a way forward on this difficult and divisive issue.
The EU is still a long way from that.
