News from Denmark:
The state of the opposition.
The struggle towards obscurity continues in the Social democraterne as former Health Minister Torben Lund now speaks out against Helle Thorning Schmidt. Calling her ‘power hungry’ and ‘Desperate’ he laments her leadership to Ekstra Bladet (a Danish daily newspaper).
“The latest proposals from the party demonstrate just how desperate the leadership is,” Lund says. “I simply can’t understand how she can get away with such attention seeking and unbelievable nonsense.”
Lund, it should be noted was a member of the former Social democrat government and as such was in power alongside the Radikal Venstre, under the leadership of Marianne Jelved. Also, Lund, though he is still a member of the SD, admits to no longer voting for them…
In the mean time Helle Thorning Schmidt’s popularity continues to plummet with the polls indicating a 4.6% loss for Social demokraterne. One poll, conducted at the beginning even put the SD at barely 19%, the lowest score for the party in 103 years.
Vilstrups poll from the 31st March puts the balance thus:
The government coalition parties:
Venstre: 26.4%
Konservative: 10.5%
The nationalist opposition:
Danske Folkeparti: 15%
The socialist Opposition:
Social democraterne: 22%
Radikal Venstre: 11.7%
Socialistisk Folkeparti: 9%
Enhedslisten: 3%
The last election by comparison.
