Going along the discussion we had in class today about democracy, i wanted to do a little write-up on what is wrong with Danish democracy. I found out the the judges are selected by a board consisting of six members, it consists of a supreme, a high and a “town” court judge, a lawyer and two people from the public. They are all finally selected by the minister of justice. It is a democratical process, but the minister of justice can use this for her own benefit. It is very easy for her to select judges that she knows will help her political career. I think it interferes with the ground pillar in Danish democracy, the split of the power into, legislative, executive and the judicial segment. Because in this way the executive and judicial are mixed. Problematic i would say.
Another problem is the monarchy, or at least some people think that it goes against democracy. Even though they don’t have any power except from a symbollic one. A common opinion is that poeple will never be equal in a country where royalty is just born “with a golden spoon in their mouth”( Danish expression meaning that you are born with special advantages) than the public. However i would say it is quite opposite. The royalty are born into a life of slavery, they have some duties which they have to fulfill and everything they do in the public eye has to be approved by the country, otherwise it would be a great scandal.
To be continued.
