Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has expressed a desire to move away from traditional bloc politics in Denmark, signaling a potential shift in government formation strategies. Frederiksen has voiced skepticism towards bloc politics, suggesting a preference for cross-political cooperation, even after future parliamentary elections. This stance could reshape the political landscape and influence government alliances.
Frederiksen reiterated her stance against division and advocated for reaching across the political middle in decision-making, emphasizing that it is in the best interest of Denmark.
While not directly addressing the question of preferring the Liberal Party over reliance on the Unity List, Frederiksen stated her intent to propose cooperation and her aversion to over-dependence on any single party.
Other political figures have weighed in on the matter. The leader of the Moderates, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, has consistently supported a center government as the way forward. Liberal Party leader Troels Lund Poulsen has been more cautious, expressing openness to various government formations, including a right-wing government, while acknowledging the possibility of continuing the current arrangement if political content is agreed upon.
Pia Olsen Dyhr, leader of the Socialist People’s Party, maintains that the current government is a “monstrosity” and believes Frederiksen should have formed a left-wing government after the 2022 election. Despite this, Dyhr still hopes for a left-wing government after a future election and affirms that the Socialist People’s Party is running for election on that platform.
