Danish social democrats secure best result in 20 years
By EUobserver
Danish social democrats secured the best result in two decades (27,5%) in general elections on Tuesday, giving prime minister Mette Frederiksen's 'red bloc' of parties the required 90 seats to form a new government. But Frederiksen resigned on Wednesday and wants instead to form a new government based on parties in the middle of the political spectrum. A record high 12 political parties secured representation in the new parliament.
