Monday, she was back, this time outside campus, but still technically on university property, when she was once again told she couldn&#8217;t canvas for her political party, the Social Democrats, and was threatened to be sanctioned by the dean.<\/p>\n<p>Days later, Minister of Education Morten \u00d8stergaard <a href=\"\/node\/22450\/\">convinced the university to reverse its policy<\/a> and allow political canvassing on university property in order to get students \u2014 a voting bloc traditionally known for their low turnout \u2014 to get out and vote. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I welcome the rule change: we should be able to contact students and explain our platform&#8221;, Maja says to the University Post when we finally caught up with her to ask her about what she is actually campaigning for.<\/p>\n<h2>Bus co-ordination<\/h2>\n<p>Maja&#8217;s platform includes strengthening of public transport and prevention of hospitals&#8217; privatisation. The first time she, successfully, ran for public office, was in 2009, when the debate of privately run hospitals was at the top of the public agenda.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think you can use market mechanisms to decide matters of life and death&#8221;, Maja says.<\/p>\n<p>The second pillar of Maja&#8217;s political platform is better coordination between bus networks and train, as well as a new light rail system, which connects the western suburb of greater Copenhagen, Glostrup, to the airport. <\/p>\n<h2>Youth counselling<\/h2>\n<p>Regarding the student housing crisis in Copenhagen\u2013 a topic which the Social Democrats have <a href=\"\/node\/22324\/\">previously discussed<\/a> with the University post \u2013 Maja did not have a prepared response.  But she says that as a current student, she was keenly aware of the situation. <\/p>\n<p>She quickly suggested the return of &#8216;youth counselling&#8217;. An institution which was dismantled around 2006, according to Maja, youth counsellors were available from the municipality, and could assist students on issues such as finding accommodation, or employment. <\/p>\n<p>The city and regional council elections are on 19 November.<\/p>\n<p>If you are an EU citizen, or have lived in Denmark longer than three years, and over 18, you can vote.
