	Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Danish Folketing
		Venstre, which formed a minority government with just 22 seats, polled strongly in an early Folketing election held in January 1975, but was unable to remain in power; the Social Democrats then formed a minority government, and went on to recover much of their previously lost electoral support in the 1977 and 1979 Folketing elections.
		Although the Center Democrats left the governing coalition in 1996, the Social Democratic Party remained in power until the 2001 Folketing election, in which the right-wing parties won a clear parliamentary majority.
		The Danish People's Party and the Conservative People's Party gained two seats each, while the Social Liberals scored their best results in more than three decades and nearly doubled their parliamentary representation with a gain of eight seats.

		The purpose of this study is to examine the issue of immigration within the Danish political system, specifically focusing on the impact it has had on the coalition formation process and the rise and fall of two of Denmark’s important political parties.

		Danish voters have some degree of electoral pull: “even though the electoral system is one of proportional representation, voters can vote for an individual candidate within a party” (Skjaeveland 1999, 124).

		Further, in August 2001, the principal of Rådmandsgade School in the multi-ethnic Norrebro neighbourhood of Copenhagen said the school could no longer function with both Jewish and Arab children amongst its population, and asked Jewish parents not to enroll their children in her school.
		Danish young people in general have a fair knowledge of the atrocities perpetrated by Nazi Germany, but are less knowledgeable about the events that preceded the Holocaust.
		The story was apparently circulated by Danish exiles in London and disseminated on 4 September 1942 by the Jewish Telegraph Bureau, possibly in response to negative reports about Christian X in the Allied press as a symbol of the feeble resistance in Denmark to Nazi Germany.

		The moderately liberal Center Union gained a plurality of seats in the legislature in elections in 1963, but its leader George Papandreou failed to win a vote of confidence for his government, and new elections were held in 1964.

		(14) During the 2001 electoral campaign, the Social Democrats adopted anti-immigrant rhetoric that was both unconvincing in light of its policies in government and unseemly within the context of the party's socially liberal ideology.
		Two parties that lost their parliamentary seats in the 2001 election were the Center Democrats (22) and the Progress party.
		Progress (0.6% of the 2001 vote) is a right-wing populist party whose anti-establishment thunder appears to have been stolen by the Danish People's party and thus may now be a spent force in Danish politics.

	Social Democrats routed in Danish parliamentary election
		The three-week election campaign was marked by bitter debates about immigration and refugee policy, with all the parties, including the Social Democrats, competing to advocate the harshest measures against asylum seekers.
		Leif Stenberg, the Swedish immigration expert from Lund University, recently said that he was “disappointed and shocked at the xenophobic tone of the Danish election campaign.

		Liberal leader Anders Fogh Rasmussen led the centre-right to a landslide win in Tuesday's general election -- largely on the issue of immigration -- in a bitter contest.
		The defeat was a major rebuff to Nyrup Rasmussen, 58, who called the snap election in a gamble that voters would unite behind his nine-year leadership after the September 11 attacks on the United States.
		His party won just 36.6 percent of the vote at the last elections in 1998, the party's worst result since 1920.

	The extreme right wing in Denmark (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		One of the major themes in the election was the question of immigration.
		As most parties have moved to the right on the question of immigration in the election campaign – since none of them wanted (or could) explain why workers felt their living standards decrease, the tone was set for very hard attacks on immigrants.
		But it also seems that the Social Democrats are very reluctant to win the election; there is high unemployment, and the economy is not moving forward etc., so they do not want to come to power on the basis of promises they cannot fulfil without going forward on a socialist programme.
