Governing Liberals Now Second in Denmark
The Social Democracy in Denmark (SD) remains ahead of all other political parties in the Scandinavian country, according to a poll by Catinét Research released by Ritzau. 26.6 per cent of respondents would vote for the main opposition party in the next general election, up 1.1 points since mid-June.
In the February 2005 election, the Liberals received 29 per cent of the vote and elected 52 lawmakers to the People’s Diet—four less than in the 2001 ballot. The governing centre-right coalition remained in place with the support of 92 legislators. Liberal leader Anders Fogh Rasmussen has acted as prime minister since November 2001. In April 2005, Helle Thorning-Schmidt became the new leader of the Social Democrats, replacing Mogens Likketoft. Denmark has never had a female head of government.
