Description

The only conversation anyone's ever had about the Faroe Islands which doesn't make an ancient Egypt joke. Also perhaps the only reporting on the recent Faroese election in the English language, which is a shame because this was a fascinating contest. These were early parliamentary elections, and saw a political comeback for former Prime Minister Aksel V. Johannesen and his Social Democrats. They were called after the governing centre-right coalition collapsed, and saw disputes over  abortion and LGBTQ rights, relations with Russia and inflation. Join us in a journey to the north Atlantic!
