Wind of Changes

... God, it has been a while. Well, probably for the best since nothing actually has happened. I don't think you (who am I kidding, it's just me reading this) would have the stomach for each blog-post detailing a downward spiral of depression and lost hopes and dreams. Yeah, unemployment isn't that fun. Time seems to stand still since you can't do anything, you are trapped where you are and hope to escape this black hole of despair by gripping the escape rope in the form of a constant pay. Work may not make you free, but it least give you the means to escape into dreams to endure. The current state I'm in... is just dull. Not only that, it also affect me psychological. I'm mostly a positive person, a happy person, a carefree person, or at least gives the impression of those things. But at the moment, this uncertainty begins to gnaw on the positive spirit I'm trying to uphold. It feels like small needles poisoned with doubt is piercing my soul. Not only doubt, but also hopelessness. Although, being the optimist it will probably turn out for the best. If nothing else, i will clearly have an advantage over the broiler politicians that talk about unemployment *mumble* like they ever been unemployed those nepotistic bast...  *ahem*

Over to some more interesting stuff. Election time in Denmark. Yay! The red team won. Boo! Although, to be fair, I have no idea what their stances are, it just become a reflex, the red team at home doesn't seem to be getting any better. And it's just not as easy to say that the red team won, the social democratic and left party alliance actually lost, but with the extreme marxist left party as well as the social liberal party (funny enough called Radikale Venstre, or the radical left) they are able to wrest power from Venstre (the liberal party, Venstre meaning left) and Konseravative Folkeparti (the liberal conservative party). Gonna be 5 or less interesting years in danish politics (the prime minister can actually decide when he wants an election within a 5 year period, the same system is used in Great Britain). And for you who know your political map, why do the liberals call them self left when they are clearly on or to the right of the middle? Well, that has to do with the fact that the liberals usually are some of the oldest parties and were opponents to the conservatives (called very often the right party, especially in the nordic countries, only the norwegian conservative party call themselves right anymore, Høyre). With time the liberal parties was pushed from the left to the right side on the political scale when usually the social democrats entered the parliaments and the opponents changed from liberal vs conservative to social democrats (and/or communists) vs liberal and conservatives. Liberals usually hold the middle ground but payed the price of being almost destroyed when they weren't left enough for the social liberals that went with the social democrats or right enough for the liberal conservative that went with the conservatives instead. I think Denmark's Venstre seems to be the most successful liberal party in Europe in the 2000's since it has constantly been over 25 % of the votes in recent elections. The Swedish liberal party haven't had that since the 1950's, here they usually are striving to go above 10 % which the last time happened in 2002, but that was because the Moderates totally botched that election.
