There is a couple in Danish politics that is stranger than S and V

The code word for Constitution Day was armament. It could hardly be anything else.

When the SVM government was formed, one of the big, more human stories was the story of Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S) and Minister of Defense Troels Lund Poulsen (V), who was then Minister of Economy. They were elected to the Folketing at the same time, in 2001, but had never really spoken to each other.

Instead, from their respective political and ideological platforms, they had developed a viable political hatred for each other and what they stood for. That changed, as we know, and today both parties can easily imagine forming a government again after the next election. Without quotation marks, of course.
