Congratulation to the left wing parties of Denmark! 🇩🇰

With 99 percent of the votes counted, the left is in a far stronger position to form a government than the right.

1. They have 84 seats VS 77.
2. They are fewer parties who need to agree (5 VS 6).
3. 58 or their seats belong to just two parties (S and SF).

Now the negotiations begin, and anything is possible. But right now, the results look like a left wing future for Denmark, with a focus on the environment, the climate, and education.

@randahl Well... I wouldn't say "a left wing future" is assured. It's a hung parliament, neither side can get 90 seats (majority). Present day government is Social Democrats, Moderaterne, Venstre. Even if the four seats from Faoroe Islands and Greenland would be included in, e.g., "the left wing block" it wouldn't be enough. Could be a minority government again? Danish and Swedish media says it will be difficult to form a government. We'll see...
