FAFO?
The thing to know here is that the Danish Social Democratic party over the last 20 years have moved to the center-right from their original progressive left position. SF, the party that gained the Lord Mayor office in Copenhagen, is in many way closer to the original Socialdemocratic position. So the public didn’t really move left, the political parties moved right.
Edit: spelling
Nah. Not so much. Overall the right has more votes now compared to before – especially Dansk Folkeparti (Danish People’s Party) – which is sort of ethno nationalist with pretty much the same sort of somewhat leftist economic policies, as the Social Democrats. What they need to do, if the want to win the election next year, is to be stronger on immigration with a clearer vision of the demographic future.
Sure, Copenhagen can go to the left.. but that is just one part of teh country.
Formally Mette Frederiksens “Socialdemokratiet” is considered “left”, though people have argued that they have switched to right wing in recent years.
Social Democrats become a “light” right wing party, lose their left wing voting base and fail to gain the right wing one. This is an outcome that every center left political party in the western world has seen at least a dozen times in the last decade.
If they fail to learn that is called natural selection. The only path forward is to become more left wing there is no future for pseudo right wing political parties
Calling it a shift to the right it outright wrong. There’s a shift away from the parties currently in government, and away from Socialdemokratiet in particular, but the shift has been towards both left and right.
wait copenhagen hasnt had a left wing government in over 100 years that seems wild for a scandinavian capital
Voters shifted left and right away from unpopular government parties.
Yes the SF won the lord major position in Copenhagen and got 3 maybe 4 majors of the 98 municipalities in Denmark. (still haggling over one. Negotiations is like a soap opera of back stabbing and shifting alliance)
Compare the 2025 map of Majors with the 2021 map

The sum total of shift to the left is 4 more seats for the left, but there are also 11 more seats for the right.
Voters in Denmark went both to the left and right of an unpopular center based government. All three parties in the government lost votes, and they went both to the left and the right.
Anyone actually living in a city can attest mass immigration is great, cities are attractive for a reason. Catering to rural bigots living in an imaginary reality is going to push progressive urban voters away.
chat control, eat shit mf’s!
In every European country governing party is losing votes, it doesn’t have much to do with Danish Social Democrats moving to the center-right. Inflation and cost of living is on the rise so people vote for the opposition parties everywhere.
It’s not because of chat control, but I’ll take it as karma even if I don’t believe in such things.
So they punisher her shift to the right by (checks results) voting for right-wing parties far more than they did last time.
This article treats opposition to Social Democrats as automatically from the left. Copenhagen is only one part of Denmark.
