Voters want SF out of government…

Every second voter who cast their ballot for Socialistisk Folkeparti (SF) in the last election thinks that SF should step out of the government. As part of the political fallout from the government's growth package, a survey by Megafon revealed that 51 percent of previous SF voters want party leader Annette Vilhelmsen and her colleagues to leave their ministerial posts. Only 23 percent of the former SF voters wanted their party to remain in government. – Politiken

…and so do SF politicians

A number of Socialistisk Folkeparti (SF) politicians argue that new party leader Annette Vilhelmsen has failed to make her mark and want out of the government coalition. A survey by Berlingske Research found that 76 out of the 113 SF local politicians and party association heads, a full 67 percent, found that the freshly released growth package, Vækstplan DK, “definitely did not” or “didn’t satisfactorily” contain enough of an SF ideological fingerprint. – Berlingske

Intermediaries reject Thorning-Schmidt’s explanations

Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt (Socialdemokraterne) defended her decision to reduce corporate taxes by contending that 19 union representatives asked for it. But a number of the representatives that Thorning-Schmidt held council with last week concerning the growth plan have rejected the notion that they supported slashing the corporate tax. While the group may have supported the growth package as a whole, “most people were against the corporate tax cut,” one of the representatives, Flemming Andersen, said. – Jyllands-Posten

DONG could be listed by 2014

DONG Energy could be listed on the stock exchange in the near future after the state-owned energy company's annual report revealed that it desperately needs the funds. Last month, DONG was criticised for its poor investments and it is in need of between six to eight billion kroner immediately, either from external investors or from the state, and becoming listed would allow the money to be obtained from private stockholders. DONG could be listed on the stock exchange as early as 2014-2015. – Børsen
