Indeed. His new party's political program (in Danish
here), has these focal points:
Nye alliancer, New alliances:
"A new alliance between political blocs
A new alliance between Denmark and the world
A new alliance between the voters and the politicians"
Nyt udgangspunkt, New starting point:
In order for Denmark to manage in the global world, we need a new alliance in Danish politics, blah blah.
Nyt samarbejde, New collaboration:
Redefinition of the Wellfare System. Security, reduced polarisation and fewer conflicts = real wellfare.
Ny solidaritet, New solidarity:
The usual personal responsibility and freedom talk.
Ny skat, New taxes:
Abolition of progressive taxes, lowering of taxes on labour.
Nyt demokrati, New democracy:
"Democracy is inclusive, spacious and conflict containing." Religion is private and should be less visible in the public sphere.
Ny integration, New integration:
"Thus far, economic integration has been the main focus -education, work, et cetera. Ny Alliance supports this. But we have not been focusing sufficiently on social and democratic integration. Ny Alliance will create and support initiatives which aim at social and democratic integration, especially in regard to women.
[...]
Cultures that close up around themselves die. Ny Alliance's view is that we should not be naïve, but that we should not forget to be open to positive, foreign influence on our society."
Nydansk, Neo-Danish:
"What is crucial in being Danish is not birthplace, skin colour or religion. Dannebrog (ljub: the Danish flag) has two colours, but the Danes have many."
Nye familier, New families:
"Ny Alliance has a modern view on new family structures: To us, the family isn't just a 'father-mother-children' concept, but one that can be put together in many different ways, though with respect for children's and women's rights."
Nye investeringer, New investments:
Denmark must be a leading country on public service. Blah blah hospitals, schools, blah blah.
Ny arbejdskraft, New workforce:
"Denmark needs to open up to the rest of the world. We need to exchange goods and attract the best labour."
Nyt udsyn, New outlook:
More development aid to Third World countries, help build democracies in all of the world, strong supporter of UN and EU, etc.
Ny etik, New ethics:
"Ethical, not moralizing." Desire to create a global Ethical Counsel, preferably conducted by the UN, dealing with global issues such as treatment of animals, cloning, organ trade, child labour, animal wellfare...
Nye udfordringer, New challenges:
Focus on environmental problems, global warming, maintenance of the Danish environment.
AND...Ta-ta-daaa!...Preventing terrorism and radicalism through democracy and free thinking on a global level.
Could it possibly get any better?
