Obvious reasons?[edit]

I'm scratching my head at this sentence:

The current name was introduced on November 23, 1968 replacing Liberale Studerende i Danmark for obvious reasons.

Is this a language thing? Is the older name derived from Swedish perhaps? Shenme 02:52, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is not Swedish, but the abbreviation LSD was somewhat unfortunate back in the 1960s. The "i" corresponds to "of" and is not included in the abbrevation. Valentinian ^{T / C} 10:17, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Venstre or Radikale Venstre~?[edit]

It seems this is an organisation affilatied with Venstre. That is not explicitly written in the article, and it would be interesting to know if that is because official affiliation is intentionally avoided, or if it is merely one of those things that happens at Wikipedia. AFAIK many swedish student political organisations avoid being officially linked to their mother party. (The reason seems to be that the senior party officials shoudn't have to deal with all the far-fetched proposals from the student organisation) /85.194.44.18 (talk) 02:23, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is affiliated with Venstre (the government party) but it is a legally separate organization, so Venstre exercises no formal control over it, and can't dictate policy for it. It has no ties to the Radikale Venstre. Venstre is associated with Venstres Ungdom (youth wing), Danmarks Liberale Studerende (student society) and Liberalt Oplysningsforbund (LOF) (education association). Previously, Venstre also had a women's association: Venstres Kvinder, but it no longer exists. All three organizations are legally independent from Venstre, but closely associated with it. Similar structures exist for Denmark's four "old" political parties:

Venstre: Venstres Ungdom (youth wing), Danmarks Liberale Studerende (student society) and Liberalt Oplysningsforbund (LOF) (education association)
Social Democrats: Danmarks Socialdemokratiske Ungdom (youth wing), Frit Forum (student society) and Arbejdernes Oplysningsforbund (AOF) (education association).
Conservatives: Konservativ Ungdom (youth wing), Konsevative Studerende (student society) and Folkeligt Oplysnings Forbund (FOF) (education association).
Radikale Venstre: Radikal Ungdom (youth wing), Radikale Studerende (student society) and Frit Oplysningsforbund (FO) (education association).

I'm no expert, but AFAIK, Venstre's sister movements have greater autonomy towards the mother party, compared with the situation in the three other parties. This is true for the youth wings in any case. The Swedish system you describe sounds familiar. The loose connection means that DLS policy can differ from Venstre's and that DLS can criticize government policy should it chose to do so. 83.89.43.14 (talk) 21:30, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
