Frederiksen will now try to negotiate a third term after the difficult coalition talks ahead.

Former Danish Prime Minister lived in a Euro-Globalist bubble where she was endlessly complimented for her relentless warmongering in Ukraine, and also for her pushback against Donald J. Trump’s ambitions for Greenland.

So, she felt it was a good idea to bring forward the October election to March, to try to ride what she believed were good popularity numbers.

Frederiksen breaks bread with Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish leaders.

But the Danish voters begged to differ, pressured by a cost-of-living crisis that Frederiksen paid little attention to.

So, she led her party to the poorest electoral showing since the early 20th century, not achieving a majority, with right-wing vote growing considerably.

So, while the tough coalition talks get underway, Frederiksen only had one path: resign, after a meeting with the King.

The Guardian reported:

“And we are just getting a word from the Danish Royal Palace that following last night’s results, Mette Frederiksen has handed in her resignation from the post during her meeting with King Frederik.

Now, this sounds a bit dramatic, but is not really: it is pretty customary as it sets in motion the new government formation process, particularly as the outgoing three-party government clearly does not have a majority required to continue in office (with 70 seats, well short of 90 required for a majority).”

Frederiksen will remain as a caretaker PM until a new administration is formed. And she is still considered one of the favorites to get the job.
