Political Mice

When the cat's out the mice play on the table. Yesterday Simon Emil Ammitzbøll manifested himself through a vacant point of view. Formerly a Social Liberal (B), now more of a centered, constitutional liberal outside of parties after a nasty break up with party leader Margrethe Vestager, he had a political win through a niche political project: his suggestion to allow homosexual couples to adopt children on an equal basis as the rest of us won a majority vote in the Danish parliament. Even as a majority vote outside of the sitting government of The Liberals (V) and The Conservatives (C) and its supporting Right wing party (O). Simply because the joint opposition of The Red-Green Alliance (Ø), The Socialist People's Party (F), The Social Democrats (A), and The Social Liberals (B) gained support from six wild mice playing on the table, mainly Liberals voting against the government parties. Good for them. Good for Simon Emil Ammitzbøll. Good for the homosexual couples.
