 Politics of Denmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Politics of Denmark takes place in a framework of a parliamentary, representative democratic, constitutional monarchy, in which the Prime Minister is the head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system.
Denmark has a multi-party system and no single party has held an absolute majority in the Folketing since the beginning of the 20th century.
With the implementation of the first democratic constitution in 1849, Denmark was given a bicameral parliament, known as the Rigsdag, consisting of the Folketing (a house of commons) and the Landsting (a house of lords, landowners and industrials).

 Welcome to The American Presidency
In elections in nondemocratic regimes, frequently as many as 99% of the votes are cast for the official party candidates, whose names often are the only ones on the ballot.
In a direct election each member of the electorate votes directly for the candidate of his or her choice, and, depending on the relevant rules, the candidate with a plurality or a majority of the popular vote is certified as the winner.
Election results and winners are certified by designated public officials, often the clerk of elections in a county or the secretary of state in a state.

By the 2001 parliamentary election Venstre became the biggest party in Denmark (measured in votes) and the government was turned in the hands of Venstre.

 Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Danish Folketing
Folketing seats from metropolitan Denmark are apportioned on a nationwide basis among political parties, according to the largest remainder method of PR.
The district mandates won by a party at the multi-member constituency level are then subtracted from the total number of seats allocated to that party, and the remaining mandates are filled from forty supplementary or compensatory seats distributed among the three electoral regions.
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.

 The elections in Denmark: Right wing policies lead to defeat
The elections in Denmark on November 11, 2001 were a historical defeat for the Social Democracy, which lost 11 seats in parliament and for the first time since 1924 is no longer the biggest party in the country.
The result of the elections was a big swing to the right, but that is not because the Danish population has suddenly become bourgeois-liberal and nationalist racists.
Only one conclusion can be drawn from the elections: the workers and youth must go into their traditional organisations and fight to win them back to a socialist programme which can challenge and beat the right wing nationalist government and lay the foundation to build a real welfare society - a socialist one.
