>Among the reasons cited by analysts are fatigue and frustration with Frederiksen’s hardline policies on issues such as integration and immigration
So it worked for one election cycle but now it’s causing them trouble. Maybe the Danish centre-left model isn’t the one to follow after all

I would love to think this is somehow related to the chat control bullshit, but it’s probably something more stupid
Labour UK finding this out too.
If you want to chase Right wing votes, fine. But don’t expect your base to sit around idly.
There’s more than one horse in the race and if you don’t represent your voters they will find someone who does.
Good.
National election next, pls.
Fuck them for their relentless push for Internet surveillance.
And all those armchair political analysts telling us that if center left would adapt right wing policy on immigration the electorate would double down on them. In the UK it’s exactly the same with Labour trying to outfarage Farage. Apparently left leaning people don’t like right wing policy, who could have thought?
Nothing shows how little people know about your city’s politics until you read an article from foreign media and a comment section
Mette Frederiksen replaced the social democrats candidate in Copenhagen with her personal friend, Pernille Rosenkrantz-Theil. They bought a summer house together. By doing that she overruled the electoral lists that her own party member had voted on, but who cares, right? Mette Frederiksen also left her apartment in Copenhagen and decided to live in an undisclosed location because people were protesting her. If you ask Mette Frederiksen why she is polling badly, she will blame the voters, not herself. That’s the core of her personality.
“This was a cynical strategic manoeuvre to avoid losing voters to the far right, but it seems, based on polling, that all they have done is prime their own voters to join the far right rather than stay with the Social Democrats.”
This is exactly what is happening with liberal or centrist parties moving far right on immigration and such.
They’re firmly centre these days. They’ve even resorted to telling voters to not vote for the parties left of them. You know the parties who have been giving them their majority for years and years.
They’re in power for power’s sake and they have no vision for society, only that they want to sit on top.
Fortunately many move to the green left and socialists now instead of just the far right like in many other European countries
The Social Democratic party here in Denmark represents no one but themselves at this point. This was bound to happen. Thankfully.
There are so many people out there thinking this headline means a rightward shift, while in reality socdems are losing the city to the far left.
Whats this, a non Serb/Croatian OP with a thread about non Serb/Croat topics?!
This is very poorly written.
People thinking it’s far right when it’s further left people are voting
Note: The “centre-left” party Social Democrats is tipped to lose power in Copenhagen, as the parties further to the *left* are likely to form a majority alone. This is a shift towards the left.
Worth noting is that they are likely to lose it to the left, not the right.
Wow that is some poor reporting by the Guardian. Centre-left are actually tipped to win. Social Democates are tipped to lose, but that is probably because they are more centre-right than ever.
How do they call themselves left?
I will reiterare this to any foreigners interested in Denmark’s political system as many times as I have to;
The social democrats in Denmark are NOT centre-left. They are very much a centre-right party these days.
Aside from their (in)famously tough stance on immigration, they are also the party that proposed the much debated chat-control law in the EU, and they have engineering recent environmental laws to carefully not piss off their own voters working for major polluters like cement manufacturer Ålborg-Portland. They also recently proposed a major tax cut together with the other two centre-right parties in the current government.
People in Copenhagen hate their mayoral candidate Pernille Rosenkrantz-Theil because they believe her to be a sellout- she switched from being a member of the far-left Enhedslisten (red-green coalition) to the social democrats. She was also previously responsible for housing development in the city, something she failed to improve in the slightest… Which should not be surprising since the leaders of her party are heavily invested in real estate developers like Jeudan that live off building expensive unaffordable housing. Guess which real estate developer gave Pernille Rosenkrantz-Theil free office space to use for her campaign? Go on, take a guess 😉
they’re not centre left anymore, havent been for a long time. liste Ø all day bitches. about to go vote for them now in fact. the west coast will be red again
That is the woman that pushes ChatControl on us!!!
They’re not “centre-left” anymore. They’re basically just right wing. Talking badly about immigrants, tightening the police state, and playing for more restrictions on liberal ideas. I don’t understand how people see the Age Verification / Internet Censorships as “liberal” either, but most parties pushing that have been classified as left-wing parties for decades.
