Denmark is pretty famous for the fact that people consider themselves pretty centrist and moderate, while the policies they implement, each analyzed separately, are the most leftist of all the EU on all modern topics (ie not classical communism of course - just climate change, women, immigration etc). But when you’re surrounded with likeminded people and little diversity of the press, it sounds logical.


I respectfully disagree that Denmark is left-leaning wrt. immigration. 20-30 years ago that was true, today not at all.

“UK seeks Danish inspiration to shake up immigration system”

“Shabana Mahmood will model some of her new measures on the Danish system - seen as one of the toughest in Europe.”
