the Alternative also served on the negotiations, although the party was not to negotiate the red forståelsespapir in place after the elections in the summer. According to Hans Engell they should just be happy to be with.

Uffe Elbæk, can only rejoice to be allowed to write under. Now approaching christmas, and the other has parties have enough thought, that he should not be left out in the cold, says Hans Engell.
