Radikale decline

Governing coalition partner Radikle has registered its biggest fall in electoral support since the 2011 election.

An Epinion/DR poll shows that that the party’s support has declined to 7 percent, from 9.5 percent in the September 2011 election.

The decline comes after coalition partners Socialdemokraterne and SF have haemorrhaged voters since taking office.

Pundits pointed to the recent internal disagreement over earmarked paternity leave for fathers and a growing dissatisfaction with Margrethe Vestager as the party’s leader as possible reasons for the decline.
