For some Danes, the famously strict immigration policies of Dansk Folkeparti (DF) are no longer strict enough. Nearly 13 percent of those asked in a Wilke poll conducted for Jyllands-Posten said they long for a party with tighter immigration policies than those of DF.

Nearly 20 percent of blue bloc voters said they would like to see such a party, and 21 percent said they would consider voting for a party whose policies landed to the right of DF's – especially where immigration is concerned.

French backlash
The data was collected from just over 1,000 Danes in the days directly following the attacks on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which experts said may explain some, but not all, of the desire to move to the right.

“It actually surprises me,” Chris Holm Larsen, a researcher in political extremism in Denmark, told Jyllands-Posten. “There has always been an assumption there is room to the right of DF, but this shows there is.”

The results of the poll seem to have had little effect on DF.

“We are what we are, and we do what we do,” DF spokesperson Søren Espersen told Jyllands-Posten.

“Anyone who doesn’t like it should vote for another party. I don’t see why I should even have an opinion about it.”
