Partaking in democrazy

The election campaign has been going on for the past 3 weeks. Cardboard adverts, television commercials and political debates all over. And it came to its conclusion yesterday on the UN international democracy day.
Why was this important to me? Because I could vote for the very first time, since I am of legal age (18 in Denmark).



Monday we had a debate on the school with 4 representatives from 4 of the 9 parties. But unfortunately I didn't find it all that interesting - after 2 weeks of nothing but debates you're quite tired of them.



My voting card! Look at that - it says "Miss Liv"! Haha, that is so grown-up... or not. Really old fashioned actually.
My feet while voting!



Yes, my dad was sort of proud. Hence all the photos. Folketing Election 2011!




After work in the evening I went to some friends of mine's election "party".
Every time all the parties' election letters came up on the screen like that, I started reading it like a real word. "vaobføick"... I was confused for some nanoseconds before realizing my own stupidity every time haha.

It was real exciting. We all looked like that guy on television. At one point it was pretty much 50/50 between the two wings.

And boy, it was a long election night! All the votes weren't counted until half past midnight... that's an hour later than last time!



But Helle Thorning Schmith and the red wing won. She is Denmarks very first female Prime Minister - that is grand in my opinion. Almost like Obama being the first black President. Just in danish scale.
