How is a new government formed? 

-

The current prime minister (Mette Frederiksen) can continue with a new 4-year mandate if there is not a majority against (90+ members) in the Danish Parliament. If the current prime minister has a majority against them, a new prime minister needs to be found. 

The Queen calls in the leaders of the elected political parties to advise on who should be prime minister (it’s called the Queens Round). Then she nominates one of them as the person responsible to form a government and become prime minister. The Danish Parliament needs to not have a majority against. If this doesn’t work, the process is repeated until a prime minister is found.
