The right-wing Dansk Folkeparti (DF) is on the verge of becoming parliament’s second largest party, according to a Greens Analyseinstitut poll. The poll of 1,191 voters found that DF would add nine seats if an election were to be held today, bringing its total to 31 representatives in the 179-seat parliament. The poll results are the party’s best since 2006, during the controversy over caricatures of the prophet Mohammed. Only DF ally Venstre (V) would receive more seats, with 50. However, if the polls hold and the two parties do manage to secure a majority between them, V should expect that DF would use its power to block key V legislation, such as tax cuts, that it is opposed to, DF leader Kristian Thulesen Dahl warned. The next general election must be held by September 2015. – Børsen
