Denmark Votes

As the DrsC have been traveling in Scandanavia for the past two weeks, we've paid particular attention to the news from the region. Yesterday the Danes voted in national parliamentary elections with an interesting result. See the lede in the RealClearWorld story.
An election campaign largely focused on immigration helped take down the Danish left, leaving Denmark's leading anti-immigration party as a big winner. A block of right-wing parties is now expected to form a new government. 
Resistance to immigration is a growing political force in Europe. Their largely Muslim immigrants have proven substantially less assimilable than our nominally Christian lot.
