Well, as experts would tell you, Estrup and the Moderate Liberals started that game back in 1891. @friism:

I realise foreign policy is only a quarter of the score, but surely a lot of the responsibility of the April 9. travesty falls on his shoulders. He also started (with the connivance of most other parties in Kanslergade admittedly) a nasty tradition of sadling future generations with bills for social spending.
