Finally! Prime Minister Persson is now delivering his resignation to the Speaker and the Alliance have started their work to form a new government. A lot will be said about this and what it means for the future, but it can be said already the importance of this is substantial. I have been able to comment a bit in Danish TV2, Reuters, Associated Press, AFP and the Washington Times.

A shift away from the corrupt and power-centered Social Democrats without ideas except to administer big government was important in itself. But there will be a shift of policy, particularly in the labor market. Problems will be attacked with reforms. Stepwise, of course, but substantial in the long run. And this is a government with a positive agenda. It is indeed a new start.
