Reports of the results in the General Election in Denmark on the 15 September 2011. The Social Democratic Leader Helle Thorning-Schmidt and her centre-left alliance won the election to give Denmark its first woman prime minister and the first Social Democratic-led government in a decade. In a cliffhanger election, which on occasion saw the two sides of the political divide neck and neck, the centre-left won 89 seats in the 179-seat Folketing compared to the 86 mandates for the centre-right of Liberal Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen. Helle Thorning-Schmidt began talks to form a coalition government on the 16 September 2011. |
