Søren Gade, who helped Liberals to a great EU election with more than 200 000 personal votes, tried his best to stop the positive momentum helping the party in the general election. To a newspaper in Northern Jutland, he said: "Someone told me 'now you will become Løkke's best friend for the next nine days'. But I can ensure you that I'm not going to hang on banners with Lars Løkke. I'm looking after my own credibility". This was of course widely cited in national newspapers. It shows the strained relationships in the party that Gade in this way attacks Løkke's credibility and basically tells his voters that it's fine if they don't support the party under his reign.
Where is he positioned ideologically compared to the other party members?
