"You may have voted, you could have determined that Denmark will get a brand new political majority and can go in a brand new course (...) and you've got chosen a brand new authorities."



Put Frederiksen within the pose of the winner. The 41-year-old chief of the Danish Social Democrats has succeeded, along with his occasion and with an act of political stability: classically deserted in social and financial politics, however with an asylum coverage that doesn't differ from that of the earlier liberal-conservative authorities. The reward for this taboo break: 25.9 %. Not fairly as anticipated and even rather less than the earlier parliamentary elections, nonetheless Frederiksen is prone to turn out to be the youngest and the one second head of presidency within the nation's historical past.



Bittersweet outcome for the federal government occasion


The "pink" block of the left reached an absolute majority after counting all 91 votes within the new parliament. Frederiksen's liberal-conservative rival, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, grew up along with his Venstre occasion and reached 23.4%. However his bourgeois "blue" bloc - together with the populists together with the Danish Individuals's Social gathering - misplaced the bulk. Rasmussen spoke of a "bittersweet" outcome: it was an excellent alternative, but it surely was a change of energy, mentioned Rasmussen. "That's why I known as Mette Frederiksen and informed her I used to be going to inform the queen the result of the election, and I'll give her the resignation from that authorities."


The Danish Individuals's Social gathering has fallen significantly low. It has fallen from simply over 21 to eight.7 %. His vp, Søren Espersen, was opposed by Danish TV and was not happy with the outcome at this degree. Nevertheless it will also be the start of one thing new, one thing totally different, one thing we now have to work on now, "mentioned Espersen.


Unlikely Alliance of the Nice Left


His occasion had already accomplished catastrophically badly within the European elections. The populists on the correct facet have been overtaken by two new events, much more excessive, of which just one and solely simply over the Danish impediment of two % has entered parliament. The Social Democrats had efficiently competed with their new asylum coverage. As prime minister, Frederiksen needs to additional restrict the variety of immigrants from non-Western states, introduce a piece obligation for acknowledged refugees and implement extra deportations.


Not all "pink" events are allowed to take part. Majority or no A bigger hyperlink alliance is due to this fact unlikely. Relatively, Frederiksen is the top of a social-democratic minority authorities that depends on altering companions. In asylum coverage, they're prone to be primarily based on elements of the "blue" block.
