Danish Left won barely
There was a left-wing victory. But not until Lars Rasmussen shortly before midnight, said his supporters that he congratulated his rival Helle Thorning-Schmidt, it was quite clear: Denmark will change color.
That Denmark has a new political face is not just about Thorning-Schmidt soon become Denmark’s first female prime minister. The entire political landscape, after ten years of bourgeois rule moved, if not entirely’s LEFT, then at least to the middle.
But the victory had a bitter aftertaste. The Social Democrats made the worst election since 1906 (!) And Løkke Rasmussen’s Liberal Party is still the country’s largest party.
In addition, it is the opposite poles of the red block that prevailed in the election, the left radical Enhedslisten and left liberal middle part Radikal, while Socialist People’s Party backed down. Already during the election night noticed a new game between the parties where Enhedslistens Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen warned Thorning-Schmidt and SF’s Villy Sövndal to listen too much for the Radical Margrethe Vestagers my policy.
