Danish Politics

Danish politics operates as a parliamentary democracy with a constitutional monarchy. Citizens vote for political parties, which then form governments based on election results. The parliament, called the Folketing, drafts and passes laws, while the Prime Minister leads the government. Key parties include Social Democrats, Liberal Party, and other center-left, center-right, and green parties. Denmark emphasizes social welfare, environmental issues, and equality. The monarchy has a ceremonial role, with real political power held by elected officials. The system promotes consensus and social cohesion, balancing individual rights with collective benefits.
