Highly dramatic election night: Last votes ensure a red majority

  1. >The 2022 parliamentary election will go down in history as one of the most exciting ever.
    What for a long time looked like a dream position for Lars Løkke Rasmussen and the Moderates as kingmakers, ends with a majority for the red bloc. A majority, which of course is secured with the very outermost of the nails.
    Because in the last hours of election night, some mandates were moved in relation to the current forecasts.
    The final election result gives the parties in the red bloc 87 mandates.
    But there is also a mandate from the Faroe Islands. And if the two Greenland mandates, which were expected to both point to Mette Frederiksen, end up with the red bloc reaching the magical 90 mandates.
    When the last mandate moved to the very end and secured the red majority, it triggered violent jubilation at the social democratic election party in Fællessalen at Christiansborg.
    And Mette Frederiksen made a post on the social media Instagram with a very short text:
    – THANKS, it said, followed by a red heart.
    Blue Bloc gets 72 mandates, while the Moderates get 16 mandates in the party’s first general election.
    However, the red majority does not mean that Mette Frederiksen’s government will simply continue. Because both the Radicals and the Social Democrats themselves have said they want to investigate the possibility of forming a broad government above the political center.
