Totally agree. Politics shouldn't be ones first job. BTW. Friend of mine (we´re both Danes) went to see Conrad´s latest show, at Bremen a few months ago. ! Loved it ! We consider on keeping him 🤣 !
@@ConradMolden Conrad: 1) As far as I know, Jacob still identifies as he/him. 2 Your guide is wrong. Let me quote Wikipedia: "Ved folketingsvalget 21. september 1994 blev Jacob Haugaard overraskende valgt i Århus Amtskreds med 23.253 personlige stemmer. Han var dermed den første, der efter Grundloven af 1953 blev valgt ind som løsgænger - bortset fra Hans Schmidt, der ved folketingsvalget i 1953 teknisk set blev valgt ind som løsgænger, selvom han reelt set repræsenterede Slesvigsk Parti.[4] Jacob Haugaard valgte ikke at genopstille ved folketingsvalget i 1998.". Here in English: "In his younger days, Haugaard was a leader in the "Union of Deliberate Work-avoiding Elements" (Danish abbreviation SABAE),[4] SABAE was a frivolous political party whose membership included numerous academics and journalists. The organisation was meant partially as a joke, but with a critical edge towards the modern capitalist society, and especially the labour market. They found inspiration in both Marxist and anarchist theories. SABAE's best known slogan was "if work is healthy, give it to the sick!".[5] Haugaard ran for every parliamentary election as a joke from 1979 onwards, until he unexpectedly won a seat in the 1994 general election representing the area around Aarhus. Running as an independent (though representing SABAE), he attracted 23,253 votes, enough to become one of the local members for the Aarhus area in the Parliament of Denmark from 1994-98. After his term expired, he decided not to seek re-election. Among his pointedly absurd campaign promises were: 8 hours of free time, 8 hours of rest and 8 hours of sleep; more tailwind on bicycle paths; promises of better weather; right to impotency; Nutella in field rations (which was actually implemented); and shorter queues in supermarkets.[6][7] Asylum rated his win in the parliamentary election the 11th greatest prank of all time.[7] When his portrait was hung in the parliament, Haugaard commented that it should serve as a warning that any idiotic populist might get elected." I rest my case. And - in the spirit of Jacob - I rest.
Being elected to Parliament is very different from being in Government. Haugaard got enourgh votes for a real seat, nothing to do with proportional representation (2 percent)

Correction: Jacob Haugaard did not - repeat NOT - run again.
That’s not what my guide told me! She said she ran again and lost 😮
