Does your vote count?
  • In Denmark there are 10 districts in total of varying sizes but each elect between 2 and 20 representatives for a total of 135, accounting for about 77% of the seats in parliament. 40 additional seats are then distributed in order to fit a party's amount of seats with their national result.

    As a vote you either vote for a party or a person.

    Each election a party either decides to let their members' personal votes decide their ranking when deciding who receives a seat, or they publish a ranking before the election. In that case a party member's personal votes are practically a vote for the party. You vote for a specific party member can then go to someone else of that party.

  • You're very close minded and uncritical about the actual situation in car dependent areas. Do you know what people who actually need a car require? Fewer cars on the roads. And how do you achieve that? Giving the people who don't actually need cars viable alternatives to driving.

    Yes, most roads around the world are needed, but hellish 12+ lanes highways are not the solution, and nowhere has a need for stroads.

    I can guarantee you that over 95% of people don't actually need a car, they're just being significantly catered to and convenienced (until they cry because they caused more traffic and gridlocks), to the detriment of people who cannot afford a car.

    Fly
  • We say "flyver" in Danish which basically would be flyor in English. "At flyve" means "to fly".

    The 'proper' word - so to speak - "flyvemaskine" directly translates to "flymachine", compounding "(to) fly" and "machine". Though if you're really busy you can just call it a "fly".

  • You think people advocating for mass transit want to remove all roads? Cause that's a nice strawman you have there

    Which languages do you speak?
  • Nothing interesting really, I might get the opportunity to move to Finland for a year, so I've practiced Finnish through Duolingo if that becomes a reality :)

    Zelenskyy straight-up said Ukraine is going to lose if Congress doesn't send more aid
  • I didn't condone the USA's actions, and it's clear from your comment that you assume I would. It's clear to me who is the aggressor in this conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and it's not Ukraine.

    Don't let your disdain for one imperialist push you over to another.
