World Elections
I'm sure most of you are all caught up the in the excitement of the upcoming European Parliament elections, so it's understandable that you may have missed this one.
Back in November, Greenlandic voters approved a referendum to extend home rule. The new laws are set to go into effect later this month, so they thought it prudent to hold a legislative election before then.
In a shocking blow, the socialist party that has lead Greenland since the beginning of home rule in 1979 lost to a socialist party that was a little more pro-independence. They are not going to enter into a coalition, meaning both the government and the opposition are being led by socialist parties.
