Examples

“Billedet af en fast idé om velfærdssamfundet som Socialdemokratiets ledestjerne siden Staunings tid er naturligvis noget af en tilsnigelse, hvad også nyere forskning i velfærdstankens udvikling har fremhævet.”

The image of a solid idea of the welfare society as the lodestar of Socialdemokratiet since the time of Stauning is, of course, a bit of a stretch, as more recent inquiry into the development of the concept of welfare has also emphasized.
