@Beneliciousss@Alejandro_SocEU Because the Danish party addressed the one topic the populists run on. I don't understand why this is so hard to understand. You can see the same in Germany. People just don't want any more immigration and they'll support level headed social democrats that understand that.
The three far-right Danish parties are now above 20% combined—for those who say being anti-immigration will solve the problem. No, we need left-wing policies. The centrist government has only boosted them.
@Alejandro_SocEU SF has a tradition of blowing good opinion polls during election campaigns. It's historic to be the second biggest party, but the result itself is a bit disappointing
I really hate it when party leaders aren’t fully honest… I mean, how can the leader of SF say the results are historic just like that when a year ago you were much higher? They’re good, because you improved, but disappointing, since you haven’t been able to capitalize on all of A’s decline.
@Alejandro_SocEU@_Hullav_@MarvelDeutscher@Nassreddin2002 If the Moderates only had joining the red bloc as their only realistic way into power I would support the centre left government. The expanded grand coalition probably won't last long anyway, so hopefully the damage would be minimal
@Alejandro_SocEU@_Hullav_@MarvelDeutscher@Nassreddin2002 It's actually not that. While I do think the Socdems need to be beaten more than they have It's actually about leverage from the Moderates. SVMRC has a majority making it possible for M to fall back on that. In this environment SFSMR will be too right wing
I think we'll get broad initial negotiations for govt with at least SocDems, Venstre, Moderaterne, SF, Konservative, Radikale and then it's gonna be a question of who leaves first:
SF leaves -> broader centrist govt
Konservative/Venstre leave -> Red bloc + Moderaterne
@_Hullav_@Nassreddin2002@Alejandro_SocEU M will not allow the government to be in touch with Ø, M hates bloc politics (Left or right), especially radicals from left and right.
That’s why A, M, B, V and C is more likely to happen (But V wants Mette out, so Mette has to resign first)
@Alejandro_SocEU@_Hullav_@MarvelDeutscher@Nassreddin2002 I kinda don't want it to be honest , a broad centrist coalition will kill the Socdem party and allow for the left opposition to grow and try again in 2-4 years. A centre left government with the Moderates will not allow for anything meaningful now that it has another option
@HartenLuke Tbh my analysis from before the election on government formation... Still basically applies... I think S-SF-M-RV probably remains the most likely outcome.
The final preliminary result had arrived from the Danish election. The red bloc gets 84 of seats, the blue bloc 77, and M 14. As polls have predicted, the post-election process will be very interesting and extremely complicated.
🇩🇰🗳️ My expectations for today’s elections in Denmark
- The far-right Danish People’s Party is going to achieve a very, very strong result, unfortunately
- The balance of power will be held by the moderates
- Mette will remain PM
- Minority government A–F–B–M, not blocked by Ø and Å
My wish:
— An A–F–B government supported from outside by Ø and Å
