Editorial Excerpt | Pia’s little bomb

Dansk Folkeparti’s signal that it is ready to put an end to partisanship in parliament opens up new opportunities for Venstre, Konservative and Liberal Alliance to seek new partners in order to push reforms through. Most obvious would be Radikale, who are no doubt dissatisfied with its coalition allies, Socialdemokraterne and Socialistisk Folkeparti, and their fear that voters will punish them in the next election unless they put the brakes on economic reforms to reduce taxes, improve competitiveness and bring down the cost of doing business. If Dansk Folkeparti breaks with the centre-right, it would signal a dramatic change in the political landscape. The notion has been brushed aside by Socialdemokraterne as hot air, but both the left and the right should get ready for new political alliances to emerge. – Berlingske
