UPDATE: DR is now saying that there is a chance the red bloc could, by the narrowest of margins, retain its majority. They’re putting Frederiksen’s bloc at 87 seats now. When Greenland/North Atlantic results are in (4 seats) if red wins three they can get to 90.
Ah that deeply glorious and weird part of a Scandinavian election night where the parties traipse through parliament building followed by singing, flag waving supporters
“Thank you”- PM Mette Frederiksen clearly thinks she’s sneaked it…#valg2022
Who said PR isn’t exciting
Really poor performance for Venstre (main centre right party). Down 19- worst performance since 1988. Governing Social Democrats actually up 2 seats, even though election was called in difficult circumstances for Frederiksen (amid fallout from Mink scandal).
Venstre leader Jakob Ellemann-Jensen essentially conceding that a left bloc maj looks likely, albeit by narrowest of margins. Rasmussen's bargaining power has diminished rapidly even in the last hour.
Now this is a ballot paper
Social Democrats now projected to be on 50 seats- their best performance since 2001.
In triumph and to Aretha Franklin’s ‘Respect’, PM Mette Frederiksen has returned to Parliament to address supporters
