It is not so crucial for the political leader of the Radicals, Martin Lidegaard, what a new government will look like after the general election, as long as it will pursue a green policy. Martin Lidegaard says this before casting his vote at EnergiCenter Voldparken in Brønshøj on election day, Tuesday morning.
- It is not so important what the government will look like, as long as it pursues a green policy, says Lidegaard.
He therefore does not want to point out which parties he would like to see in a government. But so far, the Radicals have pointed to Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S) as the "most likely" to be the royal inquiry after the general election.
- I have not been as busy as others in excluding everyone on the right and left. The only one we have said will be too difficult in advance is the Danish People's Party, because they are completely off. They are more and more reminiscent of Trump and the MAGA movement, says Lidegaard, referring to the US president and his supporters.
He adds that it is important for the Radicals that a new government will work across the middle.
In addition to green politics, the most important thing for the Radicals is to do something about children and young people and those who do not get an education, says Lidegaard.
- We have gone to the election on two things: A full green transition in five years. Imagine if we had done it five years ago. Then a ban on spraying and animal welfare, as we may be familiar with. That is the whole green part.
- And then there is the other part, which is about our children and young people and the future we give them. And there we have said that their education from school and everything around school, to youth education and higher education - it is going downhill.
- We have received worse education and fewer young people are getting an education, says the political leader of the Radicals.
He has his wife and two children with him. Asked why he has brought his family to the polling station, Lidegaard replies:
- Because this election is about the next generation: our children and young people.
Martin Lidegaard is the first party leader to vote on Tuesday, and this is his first general election as a political leader. According to opinion polls, the party looks set to make good progress. The starting point is a voter turnout of just 3.8 percent from the general election in 2022.
