Hello!

I'm a nerdy Dane who dives into the world of politics across the liberal (and sometimes illiberal) world. Sometimes it's silly and mundane, sometimes it's serious and significant.

Hi all!

As many of you will know, I've worked in British politics for a bit and like to cover it on here sometimes (though it tends to be my worse performing videos).

With Scottish and Welsh parliamentary- and English local- elections just a few days away, I was wondering whether people would be interested in a live stream for them?

It would be at some point during the day on Friday, the 8th as results won't start coming in until then.

Would people want to watch? And are there any people watching who will be at vote counts who would be interested in helping?

Tomorrow is election day in Denmark!

I’ll be doing some live streams to help you stay up to date and in the know about the results and what that can mean for potential government constellations.

At 7:45PM CET, I will be going live with ‪@EUMadeSimple‬ on their channel to discuss the election, the exit polls, and the early results. Do tune into that, it’s sure to be really interesting.

Then at 9:30PM CET, I will be going live again on this channel to discuss the results as they tick any, any party leader announcements (resignations, maybe), and what this all means for government constellations.

I hope you join me on one or maybe both of the live streams, ask any questions you may have, and keep me company for what will be a super interesting night in European politics.

Hi all!

I've started posting a bunch over on X (formerly Twitter) the past few months.

Would love it if you'd go check me out over there. I'm hoping it'll be a fun way to engage on more day-to-day political events.

Find me here: x.com/JonasLaursen15

(I've got a new 'Political Parties of Europe' series coming out on Thursday next week, it's gonna be a long one, so clear your diaries)!

Hi all!

Calling all politicos watching the Winter Olympics!

What are the big political stories you are following and/or anticipating through Milano/Cortina?

Hi all!

Seeking all UK politics watchers out there - I've got two questions for you:

1. Do you think the Mandelson scandal is going to be the end of Starmer? How do you think the next few days will play out?

2. Purely strategically, what is the smartest thing for Labour to do here? Does it make sense to keep Starmer for the time being and replace him after the locals in May or should they sack him now?

Personally, I'm leaning towards thinking that the smartest thing to do is sack Morgan McSweeney (not because I think he's anymore to blame than Starmer or anyone else, but sometimes you need a head to roll) and for Starmer to stagger on until right after the locals and to resign then. And I reckon that's also the likliest thing to happen as well...

What do you guys think?

Hi all!

Hope you've all had an excellent start to the new year! I've had a bit of an idea and wanted to run it by you all.

As many of you will know, the two countries which I follow the closest politics-wise are the UK and Denmark.

Which got me thinking...

Would you all be interested if I started a series of end-of-every-month videos where I give you all the highlights of the past month in British and Danish politics (in seperate videos)?

Short-ish, maybe around fifteen minutes per video, with the top five or so big political stories in each country.

Would love to hear what you all think. May trial the idea this coming weekend.

Thank you everyone!

Hi all!

I've got a video guide on Scottish politics out in about 20 minutes. This one took me a lot of time and it ended up being almost half an hour long. So I hope you check it out and enjoy it!

As you could all probably imagine, here in Denmark, Greenland is everywhere in the news. Inescapable. So I'm working on a couple videos on the topic. And so, therefore, I was wondering whether there's anything particular on the topic you all would like me to cover.

Are there any elements of the Danish-Greenlandic relationship you would like me to answer? Any aspects of Greenlandic politics you want me to cover? Anything at all?

If so, let me know and I will try my best to answer in an upcoming video!

You can either drop a comment here, email me (jo.ba.laursen@gmail.com), or message me on X (@JonasLaursen15).

Thank you!

Hi all!

Happy new years! Hope you all had a good festive period. New video coming out later today, so do stay tuned.

In the meantime a viewer recently sent me this timeline that they had made of Czech political parties. I thought it might be interesting for anyone who enjoyed my video on Czech parties.

Check it out below. You can find the creator on BlueSkye at: @septavelkomozny.bsky.social

Hello all!

I hope you are all having a great couple of days before Christmas!

In a couple days time I've got a video coming out ranking all the main British parties based on who had the best 2025.

I would love to hear who you all think had the best year and why! And if it's a different answer, who you think I chose.

Let me know in the comments below!

(I defined main British parties as UK-wide, Scottish and Welsh parties with representation in the Commons, Holyrood, or the Senedd).

Hello all!

Thank you so much to everyone who is continuing to watch and engage with my videos and to everyone who has recently found my channel and has started watching.

As you'll have noticed, I've done a handful of videos on the Danish local elections. I really appreciate all the interest you've shown for those videos.


There have been a few crazy developments in the mayor selection processes across Denmark since the results video I posted just a few days ago.

So I ask: are people interested in another Danish local election video on these developments or are we all tired and want to return to normal programming?

Let me know in the poll below!
