Danish electoral semiotics

A part of the Danish electoral system: each party has a letter (as long as less than 30 parties stand), and that is what get most of the parties hype (instead of the party symbol/flag) - for obvious reasons.

Danmarks Socialdemokratiske Ungdom (Denmark's Social-democratic Youth)

Danmarks Socialdemokratiske Ungdom (Denmark's Social-democratic Youth), DSU, is the youth organisation of Socialdemokratiet (the Social-Democracy). At election times, they create mock film posters to express their views regarding the election. Their poster for the 2009 European Parliament elections included EU flags where the field had been changed to red, to symbolise a political left Europe, as opposed to the (not shown) EU flag, with it's blue field symbolising a political right Europe.

See:

Humanist Party

This party popped up in Denmark in 1987, and stood at the general election that year. They only got some 5600 votes, got nobody elected, and died (more or less). I recall the infinity symbol. They used the letter "H" more than the symbol.
