@juliette @neodiablow I think it's deeper than that, Danes also seek consensus in e.g. the workplace and in their relationships and personal lives. I think it's a core cultural value, tbh.The only Danish party which refuses to compromise is Enhedslisten - the far left party - which as a consequence never gets anything done, politically. They're always the first party to leave any negotiations in a huff.But - something like 80% of all Danish legislation is voted through with bipartisan support. And politicians of all parties are in committees together, so they also know each other well from the day to day, I am sure that helps when cutting deals as well.Edit: I've been trying to follow French politics more, but it's difficult. Danish newspapers are not interested in reporting about it, and the level of understanding I seek is deeper than whatever surface stuff I can get from Reuters and other international outlets.And, of course, the political culture is so different.

They mentioned that France has the biggest outdoor advertising company in the world, JCDecaux, and that passing laws that hurt the bottom line of such a big player is touchy. They also mentioned that putting ads in things like bus shelters is initially a good deal for the city, but over time they get less and less value out of it, "like with Uber". Either they are avid @pluralistic readers, or they've reached the same conclusions independently
