Interesting.
My Danish friend Henrik finds the current government to be laughably out of touch with the current trend of Danish opinion. It's a point that we discuss often, as it matters to us both.
I have only his perception FWIW.

Capitalism searches out the darkest corners of human potential, and mainlines them.

Yes and no. They're kinda like McCain on the environment. They are paying lip service to environmentalism. They are doing a lot of greenwashing.

Of course this is laughable if you actually take the time to look at the facts - or even if you have a memory that stretches farther back than about two years. And if the public ever had a good, hard look at their environmental policies, I think that Henrik is right - they would find themselves alienating rather a big chunk of the voters.

But they are very, very good at greenwashing and camouflage. And nobody ever lost an election by underestimating the half-life of public memory.
