Election results from June 18 show the Danish People’s party (Dansk Folkeparti) emerged as the country’s second largest political force and has contributed to increasing the number of workers in parliament for the first time in years. Almost 19% of parliamentarians are now workers without university diplomas and this fact will change the tone of parliamentary debates and bring them more into line with the realities of working life and the labor market.
After the June 18 election, 33 workers (skilled and unskilled) will take up their seats in the 179 member Danish parliament, making 18.4% of the total as compared with 14% after the 2011 elections. 18 of the DF, Danske Folkeparti, the Danish People’s Party got elected. The Social-Democratic party and the Red/Green Liste Unitaire – Enhedslisten each won 6 seats whilst the Conservative and Socialist parties (Konservative and Venstre) won a seat each and the three remaining parties (Radikale, Alternativet and Liberal Alliance) each failed to win a seat.
