Denmark will have its first-ever female prime minister after incumbent premier Lars Lokke Rasmussen conceded defeat in the country's general election on Thursday.

Unfortunately for the new socialist government, they will have to rely on the very danish people's party votes they campaigned against. I think it is the very definition of a Pyrrhic victory in politics, if i ever have seen one.

It's time some intelligent woman's elected from the left, where ideals about caring for the less powerful, the poor, & the masses are still a small part of the "agenda."
Yes, & tax the rich MORE. It's not like they earn their wealth from Mars. Their wealth is derived from the working masses, so unless they want to go live on Mars, they should be taxed proportionately.
Let them move to China, if they think it's "socialism" in the West to be taxed according to how much you derive from society!
