[edit] Removing redirect

Now that the 2007 elections are ongoing, this article should be recreated to reflect information that pertains to the next election which will take place no later than 2011. I have begun the work. Lilac Soul ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 14:41, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Please don't. I can't see the use of an article about an event that hasn't taken place, in particular given that any such article will need maintenance for several years in order to keep it free of mere speculation and gossip, and despite of all such efforts, most of its staying material will be written during and after the next election campaign anyway. Why not spend all that energy on the many existing articles of terrible quality? We still don't have a single decent article about a former Danish Prime Minister / politician. Even the article about the constitution is in very poor shape. Valentinian ^{T / C} 17:46, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

shrugs Now that it's been created, I'll keep an eye on it. —Nightstallion 19:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

We can delete the article if you want, I see plenty of good reasons to do so. I only recreated it because there used to be such an article which was then renamed (moved) to the 2007 election article. Lilac Soul ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 21:19, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I've nominated the article for deletion myself. Lilac Soul ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 12:39, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] By party

I think the section "By party" is odd. In Denmark we never divide the parties i three groups but only in two group: left and right. Red-Green Alliance, Socialist People's Party, Social Democrats, Social Liberal Party and Christian Democrats are left and the rest are right. Lennart.larsen 08:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

That's just the way things are now. Both the Social Liberal Party and the Christian Democrats have previously been in right-wing coalition governments. The term centrist party (midterparti) is in widespread use in Denmark, and it is always a point of interest whom these parties support for government. As such, the distinction should be kept, I believe. Lilac Soul ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 08:21, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

It is not the ways things are now. It is highly POV which parties are considered centrist. Social Democrats and Danish People's Party also claims to be centrist parties. Many believe that New Alliance is clearly a right party because they want lower tax and it supported by rich business people. But if you instead look at who support Anders and who support Helle you will get a NPOV view. Lennart.larsen 11:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
