This is what he is trying to show with his ten principles, which according to Ellemann-Jensen must unite the bloc.
– If you turn on the television once in a while, you can get the impression that we disagree more than we agree. And we are not, says Ellemann about blue block.
The principles are well known. Among other things, it must be worthwhile to work, the welfare society must be modernized so that the Danes’ choices between public and private solutions are increased, and a strict and consistent immigration policy must be pursued.
The principles do not necessarily lead to a joint election project in the blue bloc.
– What I want with my ten principles is to focus on what we agree on and what is in contrast to the government we currently have.
– We are six different parties in the blue family, and we each have our own policy, and there must be room for that. But sometimes there is too much focus on what divides than what unites us.
– That is why I have given my opinion on which important areas where we have a significant alternative to the government, says Ellemann.
He also notes that in the red bloc there is no agreement in all areas either.
– The Unity List and the Radicals support the government, and I can also see the difference between the two parties, says Ellemann-Jensen.
From a number of commentators it sounds that Ellemann plays carefully with the principles, which some parties can not but agree with. There has also been praise from other bourgeois party leaders after Ellemann-Jensen launched the principles in Politiken.
– There is a marked difference to the government. We want to put man before the system, we want to promote free choice, and that is the exact opposite of what the government is doing at the moment.
– The government wants to tell you where to go to high school, where to live, where your children should go to school, and how to live your life. We want the one who makes the decisions in your life to be you.
– My impression is that when the social, the national, the conservative and the liberal play together, we get something good out of it, says Ellemann-Jensen.
