I don't know.

Almost everyone is neutral to me, or I hate them (ideological and/or personal level)
I decided to vote for people, rather than for parties or "tactically", since these are probably the only elections where you can afford that and the election process does not favour big national parties.

I'll probably vote for the Liberals in the guise of either Venstre or Radikale Venstre.

As a special bonus, we Danes will also get to vote on the Royal inheritance law, a change that probably won't have any impact for at least 60 years (as no woman is anywhere near being the prime heir).

I used to follow German politics and topics for a couple years. At some point I noticed that everything is running in circles, and everyone keeps talking about the same problems and not finding solutions. Instead they played party politics games. At some point I just shut down and stopped caring. I was tired of watching party politics games and politicians caring only about their image and next elections.

The two big parties in Germany have moved so close to one another in trying to win the "New Center" that they're distinguishable only in details and rhetoric (which is often lip service). The Greens? A pie in the sky party of delusionals. The Libertarians? Privatization of everything and deregulated market is NOT the solution. Left Party? Hells, no. Right wingers? No way. Friends and school mates who engaged themselves in local politics almost all quit because they decided it wasn't not worth it. They realized you can't move or change anything unless you have the cash or can market yourself/shout the loudest. Many of the successful local politicians are "Little Napoleons".

So I decide to vote by not voting. If voter turnout is low enough maybe it gets some people thinking (not that I hope for it).

Start a party where the only platform is "A vote for us is a wasted vote".

The US Marijuana Party's platform is "A voter for us is a wasted voter."
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Where is the Royalist Party option!  :mad:

You know what the EU needs?  An Emperor.  A Habsburg Emperor.  Maybe you?

We already have one of those.

Emperor Otto V would be pretty cool.  I say you write your EU parliamentarian about that.
