    Denmark’s Election Fever: Immigration Rhetoric, AI Job Losses, and… Potatoes: LWID S5E7

    A Danish snap election, hardline citizenship politics, and AI quietly killing entry-level jobs: Denmark heads to the polls on 24 March after a strategically-timed election call, with Greenland politics potentially reshaping who can form government. Kalpita and Fionn dig into a Dansk Folkeparti citizenship controversy targeting an 18-year-old’s surname, the risk that immigration rhetoric tightens further for internationals, and Dinero’s AI-first support model as a warning sign for anyone trying to break into Denmark’s white-collar job market before ending on the only policy platform that unites the nation: bring back potatoes.


    Topics:

    (01:38) Danish snap elections 24th March 2026

    (13:08) Citizenship controversy: the surname debate

    (22:18) AI replacing entry-level office jobs

    (31:12) Denmark’s declining potato intake

    Denmark’s housing crackdown and a culture war over yarn: Denmark’s housing squeeze is pushing politicians towards bigger fines and new taxes and it could hit ordinary homeowners, not just big investors. Dom and Katie discuss a proposal to increase fines for violating Denmark’s residence rules from 10,000 to 100,000 DKK, plus fresh arguments for a capital gains tax on housing profits. Also finally in the Danish news this week - knitted dresses on nude statues is it activism, art, or “vandalism”?

    Topics:

    (02:00) Danish Housing Rules

    (12:15) Danish Capital Gains Tax

    (23:36) Danish Knitting Movement

They also look at whether Big Prayer Day could return and what a new push to protect the Danish language means for daily life.
