Why election day in Greenland is anything but ordinary

ANALYSIS: Thanks to the efforts of ordinary people from all walks of life, democracy worked — and will continue to work — in Greenland.

As this is being written, the premier of Greenland, Kim Kielsen, is taking his time negotiating with potential partners over the terms for his next coalition government. Kielsen won the elections in Greenland on April 24, not with any impressive margin, but with sufficient votes for his Siumut party and for parties that he is on speaking terms with that finding a majority among the 31 members of Inatsisartut, Greenland’s parliament, should not be uncomfortably difficult.
