Opinion polls are not looking good for the three governmental parties. If we had elections today, they would not be able to muster a majority. To counter the current mood, the leaders of the governmental parties have been on a charm tour around Denmark and this autumn, a lot of new laws will be passed to appease the population.
- The governmental parties are also facing internal struggles. The social democrats are fighting over the extra tax cuts, and the liberals are fighting over the tax on agriculture.
- The social democrat voters are running away to SF (Socialists). The support for extra tax cuts, rather than allocating funds to welfare, has pushed away a lot of female voters. More women work in the welfare sector, and for this reason, among others, women are more likely to orient themselves politically in relation to the welfare debate.
- The internal struggle at Venstre (Liberals) is between the countryside-Venstre and city-Venstre. The first ones are against the tax on agriculture, while the latter are for it and want a more ambitious climate stance by the party. Danmarksdemokraterne is targeting the countryside-Venstre members, while Konservative is targeting the city-Venstre members.
