Last week, political posters went up all over Copenhagen, on streetlights, on bridges, and on train platforms. The posters are for the local elections this autumn, and even though the candidates are supposed to take them down afterwards, they usually don't. So, the candidates will keep smiling and making promises through Christmas, and through the winter snow and ice. Come spring, you'll see a faded, battered photo of somebody who failed to win anything at all hanging from a light pole near you.
