  Yorkshire CND - Denmark Debates Chinese Reaction to Missile Defense - 3/5/02
During a three-hour debate in the Danish parliament on May 3rd, Foreign Minister Mogens Lykketoft, a Social Democrat, repeatedly stressed the crucial significance of the Chinese reaction to a US missile defense if a new arms race is to be avoided.
Lykketoft called for "an active and focused dialogue" with the so-called "rogue" states, a term he avoided, and highlighted European Union efforts to encourage a renewed dialogue between the US and North Korea.
Associating himself with recent remarks from the German foreign minister, Lykketoft called the Treaty "a fundamental contribution to stability" which should not be terminated unilaterally by either party.

 Spectrezine - Danish General Election - Aage Skovrind
Losing five seats, the Social Democrats did not recover from their historical defeat of 2001 when the party lost not only the government but also the century-long position as the biggest political party.
During the electoral campaign, marked by a personal media competition between the two prime ministerial candidates, Mogens Lykketoft of the Social Democrats was not able to present a credible alternative, neither on a personal nor a political level.
Although Lykketoft presented a job creation plan, and was gifted a new argument when a slaughterhouse was closed and 450 workers sacked at the beginning of the campaign, he failed to stand as a firm opposition.

The one who came the closest was Mogens Lykketoft (the chairman of the Danish Social Democracy), who in his speech explained how the Social Democracy is the defender of the Danish welfare state.
Unfortunately it was not long ago, (although this was before Lykketoft became chairman) that it was a Social Democratic government that was making cuts on welfare.
It may be that Lykketoft has forgotten about these cuts, but it doesn't seem that the Danish workers have forgotten – the opinion polls still reveal that the Social Democracy is doing badly.
