What would the US look like with Danish parties?
Unity List: Hardcore socialists. Mix between young activists and old 70s Marxist relics. War is bad, big government is good, Israel and the multinationals are evil.
Socialist Peoples Party: Soft socialist and greenies. Lots of academics, teachers and bearded Lutheran ministers in sweaters. Voice of the public employees - both blue collar and white collar.
Social Democrats: Main left wing party. Populists. Big government, welfare state, pro-unions. Used to be the working mans party, but he has left them for DPP and The Left, now its stuffed with pensioners , unemployed workers and public employees who think SPP is too hippie (we have a lot of public employees in DK, so enough for two parties).
Radical Left (Social Liberals actually). Social liberalism combined with moderately right wing economic policies. Lots of latte Liberals and hipsters. Pro multiculturalism. Soft on crime. Low taxes.
The Left - Denmarks Liberal Party (which actually is Conservative...) Main right wing party. Farmers, business people. Low taxes. No welfare for the rich, but still basic welfare for the poor. Tough on crime. Farmers, small town people, businessmen and white collar private sector employees.
Conservative Peoples Party: Almost the same as The Left (alltough they used to be The Right back in the days when the labels made sense). But a little more emphasis on lower taxes, God, queen and Fatherland, pro defence and traditional values. Lots of suits and old ladies with blue hair.
Liberal Alliance: Softcore Libertarians. Hates taxes and the nanny state. But still wanna keep public health care and stuff (it is Denmark after all). Young financial analysts and economy students (who falsely claim they have read Atlas Shrugged and loved it).
Danish Peoples Party: No immigration, "We are the worlds best country, but it was better in the 50s", the EU is a threat to freedom, roast criminals in boiling oil, welfare for old people and average Joes, but no child support for darkies with lots of kids. Tolerant of gays though. Olds, workers and small town people.
