Greenland’s centre-right Demokraatit party – running on a platform of gradual independence from Denmark – pulled in around 30 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s big election, the BBC reports on some not-great news for convicted felon President Trump’s imperial designs on the vast island.
“Greenland needs us to stand together in a time of great interest from outside,” Demokraatit leader Jens Frederik Nielsen told reporters. “There is a need for unity, so we will enter into negotiations with everyone.” In second place came the Naleraq, running on immediately starting the independence process and forging closer ties with the United States at 24 percent. In third and fourth were the current governing coalition parties, Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA) and Siumut, marking a defeat for soon-to-be-former Prime Minister Mute Egede. But it sucks worse for fat Donald.
