Even before the election, the party stated that it aimed to govern across conventional lines.
They had to negotiate with the biggest Danish right-wing party, the Liberal Party, and the newly formed centrist party, the Moderates, founded by former Prime Minister Lars Rasmussen.
The Moderates received more than 9% of the vote, and Rasmussen stated he intended to be “the bridge” between the left and right.NYSC Portal
The far right has had a significant influence on Danish politics in recent decades, but three populist parties received only 14.4 percent of the vote.
According to Frederiksen, the incoming government would have “a lot of concessions, but above all, a lot of objectives.”
The Social Democrats, who are used to heading minority administrations, are by far the largest party, with 50 seats out of 179 in Parliament.
