The Reform Parties Are Back

A joint Danish opposition now issues a statement calling for economic reform by the ruling government. The Social Democrats (A), The Socialist People's Party (F), The Social Liberals (B) - and even government supporter Liberal Alliance (I). The two last mentioned being the reform parties to end all reform parties. And hey, where have the Social Liberals been these past few months? What the joint reformers want is for the Danish government to live up to the economic standards put forward by the European Union, by cutting costs of early retirement plan assurances (for the still fit to work) - and instead placing them on healthcare, schools, and the elderly. And on green investments. The ruling government of The Liberals (V) and The Conservatives (C) have been reluctant to deal with the cutting of the very popular early retirement plan assurances. I.e. cutting votes. Paradoxically, reform is a whole lot easier to agitate for, when not in government.
