Who I will vote for in the EP elections

I have made a shortlist of the Danish candidates I find worthy of voting for in the EP elections. I have already made my selection of whom I will vote for, and it is one among the candidates below. I have given everyone the benefit of the doubt, and have selected someone from each party; and I am happy to say that I have found competent and good people in each party, so there should be a someone for everyone to choose from.

Before I reveal the simplified list I must underline that it is my personal list. I have tried to combine what I have heard them say in the news (TV, radio); what I have read about them (newspapers and internet); meeting I have been at where they have been present; as well as my general subjective impression of the candidate (some people may criticize this, but I do believe that as in any political fight of the 21st century, it is crucial how you present yourself).
I may be wrong in what I write, but it is my impression, and if anyone wants to ask me more, I would be happy to say more.

Candidates	Main issues	Advantages	Disadvantages
Margethe Auken (SF)	To fight climate change through Green jobs and sustainable energy. Minimum work standards in the EU. The fight against cross-border crime, including white-collar crime and prostitution (she advocates for Denmark leaving the judicial exception).	Knows the Parliament where she has been one of the best Danish MEP over five years. Extremely intelligent and balanced.	SF has focused entirely on their two top candidates, and they have drowned that there are actually others. They all seem to follow a strict party line As an MEP Ms. Auken has had a difficulty being heard in Danish press. From being anti-EU she is now very pro-EU.
Klaus Larsen-Jensen (S)	Social welfare and jobs. Alternative energy, education and equality. Control of capital markets.	Has been president of the Folketings’ Europaudvalg, and may thus be in a good position to build a stronger relationship between EP and Folketing	Has not participated enough in the debate; too anonymous in the campaign. Much of what he has written in the media has been about quite abstract subjects, and nothing concrete.
Einer Lyduch (S)	A social Europe based on rights, jobs and sustainable energy.	Quite knowledgeable on the EU and its international role	Too unknown; has hardly been profiled in the debate, and his knowledge seems too limited to EU international role, and less so on some of the more soft issues of the EU
Sofie Carsten Nielsen (RV)	Asylum and immigration; health (patient-rights); gender equality (maternity leave)	Radikale might not get in, and it would be a loss if there are none. She has been very active in the debate and very concrete and knowledgeable.	Her campaign has at times seemed desperate for attention and she has at times seemed stressed and almost hysterical, making one wonder whether she is up to the stress of the EP.
Johannes Lebech (RV)	Environment and climate, consumer rights and health	He has been a good MEP for five years, and sits in the environmental council. He has excellent experience and has seemed committed.	He has been notably absent from the campaign, perhaps to get focus on their only likely MEP Sofie Carsten Nielsen, and he may thus have given up beforehand.
Kasper Elbjørn (V)	Energy independence (including sustainable energy), strengthening the internal market, institutional reform and democracy in the EU	Young and dynamic, with a very interesting blog where he seems quite knowledgeable and focused, and doesn’t always follow the party line	Young candidates are a forgotten breed in Venstre. Kasper Elbjørn may be positioning himself in the party for the Folketing
Louise Feilberg (V)	A liberal Europe; climate change; stop human trafficking; consumer policy	Dynamic and committed, and knows a lot about the specific subjects she works with.	As young, she has little chance in spite of her dynamism. May also be setting herself up for a future in Venstre.
Peter Hjortkjær Jørgensen (LA)	Health, education, climate, the financial crisis (global solutions)	Basically the only worthwhile candidate in Liberal Alliance	Totally unknown and in the shadow of B. Dickow has had almost no profiling in the debate.
Ditte Staun (FEU)	Cooperation without a union; defend democracy and fight bureaucracy; fight EU trade-walls; health, environment and animal rights	Ideologically a liberal and quite well-argued about her stance against the EU	She often seems out of touch with political realities, and risks just being an eternal nay-sayer.
Hanne Dahl (JB)	Patient-rights; IT-security; water protection; democracy and transparency in the EU	Very intelligent and in-depth knowledge of all her issues and after a couple of years in the EP, knows the system well. Have moved from being anti-EU to EU-sceptic. Junibevægelsen has had a positive influence in the EP under Jens Peter Bonde and Hanne Dahl.	She appears arrogant in the discussions and her great level of detailed knowledge makes her sound uninteresting for some voters. Junibevægelsen will have a difficult election from being seen as inconsistent.
Anna Rosbach (DF)	Yes to cooperation between EU states in areas of environment, criminality, transport, research & education. No to the EU Constitution and to Brussels-made legislation	Appears to have a generally positive approach to the EU and is more a sceptic than an EU opponent. Many years of EU experience does that she knows the system	I could imagine that she has little appeal in her own party because of her generally positive approach and good way of discussing. Seems weak in the discussion of some of the more substantive issues.
Christian Wedell-Neergaard (K)	Peace & security; freedom & justice; climate & environment	Extremely knowledgeable of agricultural policy, and a sound and positive ideologically conservative approach- differently from many leading Conservatives, he is not a populist.	May not get elected due to his sound arguments. Comes out somewhat boring

There have been other candidates that I have been close to putting on this list: Emilie Turunen, Peter Norsk and Mette Abildgaard, but for different reasons I did not include them in the end.
Also, when voting some considerations need to be made on some party alliances and the party lists: for instance if you vote for either SF, Radikale or Socialdemokratiet, you risk that your vote goes to any of the parties in the alliance. And in some party lists you risk that your personal vote is given to someone you hadn't wanted to vote for (it is something not all parties are very good at answering, so I am not sure which ones do this).

In any case, the most important thing is to go out and vote, even if you turn in a blan vote!
