The world can 'look forward' to a Danish Falklands style operation to recover the almost continent from it's new CCP overlords. :)
It's an interesting election with both mining and independence on vote. Also there's no Aleqa Hammond to overshadow it all with misuse of public funds.
It would be difficult to find any female politician who wouldn't be wearing a similar sweater in press photos.
I voted for her too. She is from the ecologist party, IIRC, the one opposed to the China deal? I read something about that last week. I hope there is no deal with China. Only Canadian mining corporations have true experience digging in the frozen north anyway, so it's good to oppose China :P

Time has come to select who should lead Greenland to independence and how to attract rich Chinese people: the mineral riches or the natural beauty of the lands.

Ties!!!!11111 :ultra:
1-3 all look pretty white, so I'm going to vote for a true greenlander (who at least is wearing a button-up shirt) - #4. As the oldest he looks to be an elder as well.

Went with the last one; with that sweater I assume she's some sort of Joan Baez/Buffy Sainte-Marie style hippie who resolves all ethical dilemmas by turning them into a folk song.

I do like the chick's jumper.
But third from bottom looks like a naughty boy who may have just pooed himself.

You voted for the social liberal wanting to stay in the Kingdom of Denmark. Congratulations!
In reality the socialists won (#2). I think they had a good election because of their resistance towards the mining project and Siamut, usually the winning party, was for it.

Boring looking dudes (not wearing ties, oddly enough I agree with barrister on this; go full casual or not at all) or woman wearing a nice jumper? I predict a landslide :cool:

Since the sweater is popular here is our crown prince family wearing the traditional clothes of Greenland

I just realized that the winning party got less 10,000 votes, which is still 36,6% of the total votes cast.
