The refugee crisis isn't temporary, but the Danish-Swedish border control is. The Greater Copenhagen-Malmö-Lund area is basically one integrated city area and its not sustainable long time. Its like imposing border control between London and Essex (though some would probably think that was a good idea..). If I were Denmark I wouldn't care for open borders with Sweden until they get a bit more of a hold over immigration (and im no immigration hawk). |

You would have to transfer Havering into Essex first, of course  |

You'd probably want to put it along the North circular (but then build another wall around Ilford)

Its like imposing border control between London and Essex That is a very interesting observation. I infer that you think the Danish-Swedish border will have to effectively disappear. Do you anticipate any further developments, e.g. some sort of shared local government? |

Its like imposing border control between London and Essex That is a very interesting observation. I infer that you think the Danish-Swedish border will have to effectively disappear. Do you anticipate any further developments, e.g. some sort of shared local government? No, Sweden would not accept a shared regional government since that would equal Danish domination of the region (on a political level, of course "Copenhagen is the capital of Southern Sweden" has some truth to it no matter how you formally arrange things). The Öresund Committee for cooperation between municipalities and regions in Zealand and Scania (working mostly with infrastructure, culture and "regional awareness") was on January 1 transformed into the more ambitious Greater Copenhagen & Skåne Committee (joint marketing of "Greater Copenhagen", infrastructure, investment strategies, integrated labour markets, lobbying to influence nation legislation and border "hindrances" which inhibits growth in the region, joint business development strategies). The members are the three regions: Hovedstaden ("the capital"), Zealand, and Scania + their municipal cooperation councils, and the municipalities of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Bornholm, Malmö, Helsingborg, Lund, and Landskrona. |

Again, not actually foreign but Stephen Donnelly TD (Wicklow and East Carlow), elected as a Social Democrat, then left to sit as an Independent, has now applied to join Fianna Fáil.

It's very hard to use a date and the word "movement" without sounding like a leftist terror group of the seventies.

We are in Peoples Front of Judaea territory.
I think Melenchon is likely to be the front runner as the left regroup. I think this has been done to try and keep Macron in the picture.. ..

If this topic listed all the defections in France this year it would use up all available bandwidth.

I think this has been done to try and keep Macron in the picture.. .. ngl, if I were in France atm I'd probably be giving passive approval to macron as he's the only non right winger that seems to have his shit together. I think Melenchon is to left wing to unite whats left of the left under one banner. You still want this chaos to happen in the UK? The French don't have PR; a pre-requisite for an orderly transition into a proper democracy. |
