The Social Democratic Leader Helle Thorning-Schmidt and her centre-left alliance won Thursday’s general election to give Denmark its first woman prime minister and the first Social Democratic-led government in a decade.
In a cliffhanger election, which on occasion saw the two sides of the political divide neck and neck, the centre-left won 89 seats in the 179-seat Folketing compared to the 86 mandates for the centre-right of Liberal Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen.
