Denmark's opposition parties beat the ruling coalition after a close general election on the 18 June 2015. The centre-right group led by ex-PM Lars Lokke Rasmussen beat the current Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt's centre-left coalition, although her party was the largest. Ms Thorning-Schmidt stood down as Social Democratic Party leader. The right-wing, anti-immigration Danish People's Party became the second-largest in parliament. The Local.dk reported on the 21 June 2015 that after weekend negotiations, Lars Løkke Rasmussen of the centre-right Venstre party had concluded that forming a majority government was 'not possible' and would now look at the options for minority rule. On the 28 June 2015 Mr Rasmussen unveiled his minority government made up only of ministers from his Venstre party. |
