Kingmaker Lars
So. What does it all mean for a new government in Denmark?
Well, based on exit polls without taking the Moderates into account, Red Blok will get 85 mandates compared to Blue Blok’s 73.
None of the blocs have the 90 mandates required to take over power, so Lars Løkke Rasmussen is likely to be the ‘kingmaker’ for Denmark’s next prime minister. His expected 17 mandates can swing the tide for both blocs.
Quite a turnaround for a man who only started his party less than a year ago.
But there are plenty of twists and turns ahead on a long election night, and an exit poll based on just over 4,000 votes cannot be considered gospel.
