2 percent is really important for Denmark, as this is the limit to get
into parliament here. I already used this in an interview to counter
some "expert" who said we could not get the votes. Your election result
is going to help us a lot in Denmark because of this.
And it is a big step forward from the 0.9 percent you got in the
elections for the EU-Parliament. This can be used to counter critical
voices in both Denmark and Sweden who say we may get better votes in Eu
elections than in national elections.
Congratulations with the result.
Best Regards,
Ole Husgaard.
