Epigraph: “To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself." - Søren Kierkegaard The opinion polls seem to give the New Democrats five seats for the coming election. Birgitte is quite confident her strategy is working out. The difference with the Moderates is not that apparent for most voters. In a debate of 'moderate parties' she decides to boldly attack Jacob Kruse. In the general debate on TV1 Jacob Kruse eventually lashes out against Birgitte Nyborg and does not manage to recover from this mistake.
