	Social Democrats (Denmark) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Social Democrats (Socialdemokraterne), is a Danish political party.
		The Social Democrats' social policy through the 1990s and continuing in the 21st century involved a significant redistribution of income, the maintenance of a large state apparatus, with collectively financed core services, such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
		The Social Democrats had maintained a parliamentary majority during the period from 1993 to 2001 by virtue of their support from the Socialist People's Party and the Unity List, both parties which are considered significantly left-wing.

	Wikinfo \| Social Democracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Social Democracy, also vaguely identified as centre leftism, moderate socialism, democratic socialism is a political ideology emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from supporters of Marxism who believed that the transition to a socialist society could be achieved through democratic evolutionary rather than revolutionary means.
		Social democratic parties are among the largest parties in most countries in Europe, as well as in the majority of European-influenced parts of the world (with the notable exception of the United States).
		Social democrats usually retort by arguing that their policies are in fact enhancing individual rights, by raising the standard of living of the vast majority of the population and eliminating the threat of extreme poverty.

	Denmark POLITICAL PARTIES
		From 1945 to 1957, Denmark was governed by minority governments, influence fluctuating between the Social Democrats on the one hand and the Moderate Liberals and Conservatives on the other, depending on which of the two groups the Social Liberals supported.
		The Social Democrats briefly formed governments in 1924 and in 1929, in association with the Social Liberals.
		Aims of the Social Democratic Party are to nationalize monopolies, redistribute personal incomes by taxation and other measures, partition farm properties to form independent smallholdings, and raise working-class living standards through full employment.

		Different strategies of the social democratic parties As explained above, the theoretical argument of this paper is that differences in the extent to which countries have implemented NPM reforms are caused by different strategies of the social democratic parties towards welfare-state reforms in general and NPM reforms in particular.
		In Denmark, market-type reforms are still seen as an attack on the basic principle of the welfare state and not as a tool to achieve cheaper and/or better service. In Sweden, the debate about NPM reforms and market-type reforms in particular has developed along different lines.
		When the Swedish Social Democrats reentered government in 1982, they knew that the problems of the public sector were their problems and this continued in the 1980s.

	Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Danish Folketing
		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.
		Until 1973, there were four major parties: the left-of-center Social Democratic Party; the right-of-center Liberal Party of Denmark (known in Danish as Venstre; literally "Left"); the right-wing Conservative People's Party; and the centrist Social-Liberal Party (known in Danish as Det Radikale Venstre; literally "The Radical Left"), a 1905 offshoot of Venstre.
		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 opinion polls supported this view; in late October 2005, before the crisis developed, the Social Democrats mustered the support of 22.5% of the voters, and the DPP were at 12.8%.
		I agree, it is rude and crude and uncouth and worthy of disrespect.
		Denmark appears to be a particularly aggravated case of this hypothesis.

	Social democrats launch a "Progressive alliance"
		By initiating the Forum, some of the Social Democrat leaders hope to form alliances between their parties and the thriving pool of activism of the social movements that have renounced corporate-driven globalisation and free-market fundamentalism.
		If the European Social Democrat leaders were serious about forming a global alliance to help poorer countries, they had to first change the European Commission’s current proposals in the WTO to drastically open up the markets in the developing countries, whilst protecting European markets especially in agriculture.
		The European Social Democrat politicians have raised expectations with the holding of this Forum. But the skeptics continue to wonder whether it will be “political business as usual” after the meeting. It remains to be seen whether the momentum generated can be maintained, and whether the proposals announced will lead to anything concrete.

		The turnout was a record; the Social Democrats were massacred, losing power everywhere, for example, for the first time in 82 years there isn't a Social Democrat mayor in my home town of Aarhus; and the new government is the first "borgerlig" (literally "bourgeois) majority administration since 1926-29.
		In fact, the Social Democrats are the second largest party now; the neo-liberalists of Venstre have taken over first place.
		Social Democrats are secretly hoping the DPP will scupper the government.

		The Social Democrats' warnings that 'would-be emperor Fogh was as naked as a fairy-tale figure', failed to convince the voters.
		Meanwhile the Social Democrats claimed, in the words of the outgoing minister for the environment, Svend Auken, that this was 'the most right-wing government since 1929'.
		It is possible that Venstre's stunning victory, and the Social Democrats' equally spectacular defeat, represent but a momentary exception to the general dominance of the latter party.

	Danish intelligence service reports ongoing high risk to troops in Iraq - Indymedia Ireland
		Despite Iraq’s democratic development with the successful parliamentary elections recently and the work of forming a new government, the security situation and the risk of enemy attack on the Danish force is still completely unchanged.
		After the end of this five months’ extension, both the Social Liberals and the Social Democrats have stated that they will not support Denmark’s military presence in Iraq, since the government is not willing to set a deadline for withdrawal of the Danish troops.

		Frederiksen said Denmark had experienced an alarming rise in prostitution and pornography, and called for "a change of attitude in society".

		The head of Denmark's largest opposition party, Mogens Lykketoft of the Social Democrats, conceded defeat in the country's general election after projections on Tuesday evening gave the victory to the center-right government.
		Denmark's immigration policy, perhaps the most restrictive in Europe, is believed especially to have drawn many voters to Rasmussen.
