2007 Danish general election

The 179 members of the Folketing were elected by party-list proportional representation in multi-member constituencies, with levelling seats filled using overall party vote shares.[7][8][9] After the elections, however, it was clear that New Alliance did not get enough seats in parliament to break the previous right-wing majority.[13][14] Danish prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen announced this election date on 24 October 2007.The New Alliance secured five seats in its first election, a result lower than projected in earlier opinion polls.Edmund Joensen's pledge to abstain on matters related to internal affairs of Denmark would alter this, giving the New Alliance the balance of power and risking conflict with the DPP,[22] but Joensen has also pledged that if doing so would risk giving the opposition a majority, he would not abstain, but instead vote with the government.After the last election, where Rasmussen also secured continuing power, there was some shuffling of minister posts in the cabinet.The resulting Cabinet of Anders Fogh Rasmussen III was presented a few days after the election.
