Elections in Denmark – Wow! It is the wildest thing

COPENHAGEN (Dagbladet): A record number of Danes have no idea what to vote for in today’s elections.

One measure from Vox meter which took place on Friday, shows that one in five voters (22.1%) were still unsure which party to vote for.

Today an unusually large number of voters are sitting on Danish fences. It also makes it extremely difficult to predict the outcome of tonight’s elections. In addition, it is also very uniform between the red and blue blocks. In summary, there are now so many uncertainties that even the constant cruncher numbers are amazed.

– Wow, I’m just saying. It’s the craziest election prediction I’ve ever seen in my 15 years of working with this, says Kantar Public Director Camilla Fjeldsøe.

Ahead of the 2015 general election, 11% of voters were in doubt on election day. The figure rose to 15.9 in the 2019 election, but this year is much higher.

– Never before have so many voters been in doubt the day before the election, adds Fjeldsøe.

The Danish voters Dagbladet spoke to in Copenhagen express the same weariness towards politicians as indicated by the large number of undecided voters.

Deadly race

In a super poll published today in the Danish newspaper Berlingske, there is almost a dead race between the red-green bloc in power and the bourgeois bloc, but the bourgeois have a small advantage in the poll.

– There are very few votes to move before there is a chance for a pure Red majority, says Danmark newspaper editor Casper Dall to the Ritzau news agency.

If none of the blocs succeeds in obtaining a majority, the new centrist party of the Moderates, led by former Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, could tip the scales.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksens Social democracythe sister party of Norske AP, is the largest in the poll with 26.2% of support.

The second biggest is the party They left, a hybrid of the liberal and conservative parties in Norway, with 13.7 percent. This is a ten percent drop from the 2019 election.

Hold on tight

A total of 14 parties are battling for seats at the Folketing in this year’s elections, and even an attentive reader must keep their tongue on the poll.

newbies The moderates gets 8.8 percent in the poll, and is therefore on the verge. People’s Socialist Party with 8.7% support, one percentage point ahead of the 2019 election.

The fiscally critical subject Liberal Alliance gets 7.3 on the measure, The Danish Democrats, another party just started, loses 7 percent. Another bourgeois party, The Conservative People’s Partygets 6% support in the survey, while The list of units on the far left is 6.3%.
