Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s party is on track to win the most seats in an election shaped by Donald Trump’s threats over Greenland, according to exit polls.
Frederiksen’s Social Democrats are projected to get 21% of votes, based on a poll published by broadcaster TV2 after voting ended Tuesday.
If confirmed by results of the election, the outcome still leaves her short of a clear parliamentary majority together with traditional left-leaning allies. That would make her reliant on talks with centrist and right-leaning parties or representatives from Greenland and Faroe Islands to secure a third term.
What the article doesn’t seem to mention is that she along with the social-democratic party lost voters.
Exitpolls shows they are down 8.3% from previous election.

Wonder how far right the resulting coalition will slant.

The one trying to pass chat control? The alternatives must be really bad.

People talk about how the left need to be harsher on migration to survive and point to Denmark as an example. Yet here the social democrats are down to 21% (or even 19%), their lowest since the early 1900s, with a left wing party second.
Does anyone know whether there’s a live tracker in English or that the link above is the one i should follow?

This is a catastrophic result for this party and the title paints it like a victory

A bit early to call winners (or losers).
At 20:00, she was at 83 against 78 for the blue.
Now (22:00), they are equals.

It looks like no block has majority, another big coalition A+V+M with maybe C and B this time?
