Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s party is on track to win the most seats in an election shaped by Donald Trump’s threats over Greenland, according to exit polls.
Frederiksen’s Social Democrats are projected to get 21% of votes, based on a poll published by broadcaster TV2 after voting ended Tuesday.
If confirmed by results of the election, the outcome still leaves her short of a clear parliamentary majority together with traditional left-leaning allies. That would make her reliant on talks with centrist and right-leaning parties or representatives from Greenland and Faroe Islands to secure a third term.
What the article doesn’t seem to mention is that she along with the social-democratic party lost voters.
Exitpolls shows they are down 8.3% from previous election.

Wonder how far right the resulting coalition will slant.

The one trying to pass chat control? The alternatives must be really bad.

People talk about how the left need to be harsher on migration to survive and point to Denmark as an example. Yet here the social democrats are down to 21% (or even 19%), their lowest since the early 1900s, with a left wing party second.
Does anyone know whether there’s a live tracker in English or that the link above is the one i should follow?

This is a catastrophic result for this party and the title paints it like a victory

A bit early to call winners (or losers).
At 20:00, she was at 83 against 78 for the blue.
Now (22:00), they are equals.

It looks like no block has majority, another big coalition A+V+M with maybe C and B this time?

The ostensibly former Trump whisperer of choice is seen true to style. And yet it appears a premature thank you, best friend Donald could barely win her a staged election. I’m aware this is much less about foreign politics but that’s exactly why you’d rely on outside help, and why they still plummet. We’re seeing this pattern everywhere, funny enough as globalization is supposed to be history (note the McDonald’s). It’s a serious problem. In that sense and whether for the reason or not, the Danish voters sent the only one right message: not like that. By the way, on my spacetime metric she’s hard right, but this is another story, from an altogether different place, and I’m not to judge other countries choices or semantics. Also being lightyears apart already regarding such basic issues, in tiny Europe at that, not to mention between neighbors, what could go wrong?

The Social Democratic party almost always lead. They haven’t come 2nd in an election since 2011. What matters is which coalitions are viable.
