1. ministers aren't "elected", they're appointed by the government party(ies).
2. minister of church - who cares? hopefully he'll work for secularity
All in all a rather big win. The Danish Peoples Party, a racist party, lost a ton of votes which is a big win. Going further to the left will stabilise the increasing chasm between haves and have-nots.

How is age relevant? Would a seventy year old man be better?

@Frant your point 1 is useless. Thats not what im talking about, im talking about he didnt get enough votes of his party, but was given a minister spot, even when there where people with way more votes than him. Don´t assume I don´t know what im talking about, when i am the one making a topic on politics - thats just rude.
Point 2 is also lame, you might not think the church is important, and ive my self has stopped paying to that crap long ago, but come on, elect persons for jobs that are worthy of them.
I agree that those racist tossers on the far right is good to have away from power, but getting "Enhedslisten" closer is a small win (read the polical program from 2004 and laugh your ass off).
There are two kinds of people I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

@Mister S: I don´t know about your age - but im way wiser now that im 33 than when I was 23. Im pretty sure when im 43 ill be wiser also, but not by the same amount from 23 to 33.
But it was not the 26 that was funny, but that he is still in school, learning about the thing, he is now in charge off.

I like the new Danish politics. Didn't like the right wing populists at all. The islam hating madman Breivik from Norway must have made the Danish think.

The danish right wing party still got some 430.000 votes :/ Down just 40.000 votes from the last time. But ya generally people just wanted change from the previous government.
But another extreme "Enhedslisten" on the left wing got many votes this time, and while better than the right wing rhetoric, I still detest its crazy outdated political program.

Honestly i think the new minister of church is going to do a good job!
But i cant stop laughing at the new government they are gonna continue with the exact same politics as the previous. Putting a 26 year old guy in charge of the taxation is just insane ! That guy have zero experience in life !
the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

What does a minister of church do? I always thought Denmark was a secular state...
And about the '26 y.o. still studying' minister, well, at least he is studying! Here in Brazil we have a few politicians who can barely read and write...

And he will do exactly that. As long as the people pay for the church we, the government, have a say in how it operates. Manu Sareen(the new church minister) says his primary objective is secularity.
It's easy to hear that Doh didn't vote for them cause you could make the same ridicilous comments about the old government. I do not like Ole Sohn at all, though(the work and growth minister he talks about).

Why is an academic education mandatory to be a good politician? That has never been a requisite. It's a representative democracy so why shouldnt people with other types of education be in the parliament? And a ministry is a huge operation, it hardly comes down to the individuals academic achievements.

We are but we also have "Folkekirken" which every person pays taxes to unless they decide not to. You are automatically signed up for it but you can choose not to. Anyway if you think any of the politicians in Denmark know more about life because they are older you are kidding yourself. Atleast a young guy such as him hasn't been 'tainted' by the career politicians as much, yet.

You already answered a few. If taxpayers' money goes to the church it is only normal to have someone from the cabinet to look over it. Here churches are not funded by taxes, church organisations do pay lower taxes themselves though. They are funded by private donations or they have income from other possessions like real estate. I am kinda surprised to read that 80.4% of the Danes are still a member of the Church of Denmark.
