In his new book titled "Problemet med politik," Michael Schøt addresses growing concerns regarding the trust in Danish politics, revealing that over half of Danish youth feel a lack of democratic self-confidence. Schøt's analysis sheds light on a troubling statistic that four in ten Danes have little to no faith in the political system's ability to tackle long-term societal challenges.

The book, published on February 17, 2026, outlines the mounting challenges facing Danish democracy, suggesting that these issues have become persistent and increasingly severe. Schøt's work resonates with a wider audience, amplifying discussions around political engagement and the urgent need for reform in the Danish democratic landscape.

By moving beyond humor and addressing these serious topics earnestly, Schøt engages readers in a vital conversation about the future of democracy in Denmark. His insights may stimulate public dialogue and provoke thought on how to effectively restore trust in political institutions, especially among the nation's youth.
