Strong support to Danish government

Together with Danish People’s Party, Danish prime, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, and his party, Venstre¸ gains strong support in the latest poll. Together to two parties would control a record high 48% of all seats in parliament if an election were to be held now.

Danish People’s Party gains eight seats and is up from present 24 to 32 seats in the poll. The party, that is not in government but on a regular basis supports Venstre and Konservative, was the party that a decade ago insisted on limitations on Moslem immigration to Denmark.

The poll also demonstrates a historically unique stronghold for the government. The two parties in government and the People’s party together would win 101 seats against the opposition’s only 71. In the center seeking politics of Denmark these figures are rare.
