Danish General Election: 1 November 2022

What is the reason for the Liberal Alliance resurgence? I remember people writing them off after poor results at the last election.

Their leader is quite the campaigner and is very strong on SoMe, so they are hitting a note with a younger audience - and besides the Struer flat-gate, Alex has been a cleaner leader among the numerous right wingers

Which of Venstre or the Conservatives do you think would be more likely to support this hypothetical "broad government", or would they only support it together?

Or do you think it's more likely, in a situation where the Moderates get the balance of power, that they effectively end up joining the "red bloc" but with Enhedslisten marginalised?

It's a little confusing for some of us that the English translation of LLR's party is the same as that used for Birgitte Nyborg's original party in Borgen; I think the Danish names are different, though.  (See also the "New Right", which in the English subtitles for Borgen was used for the party equivalent to the Conservatives.)

I don't really see any of Venstre or Konservative joining any government with Socialdemokratiet. A more likely scenario is an ABM-government, that makes deals with V and K on economics and F and Ø on green stuff

What time do polls in Denmark close at and do they have exit polls?  Also what about Faroe Islands & Greenland as while not many seats if close could be deciding factor?  When do they post results?

The polls close at 8 PM and the final result will be ready around midnight (or later if one or more of the districts in CPH messes up the count)
Both DR and TV-2 will make exit polls
The Faroe Islands voted today. The Greenland result will probably arrive a few hours after midnight, but negotiations will probably take days, so it will not matter that much.

No, she won't...
She announced her retirement from office in order to enable the formation of a government that will enjoy broad support, thereby overcoming the left-right division of society.

Well, she'll most likely (I'll give her 80-90%) be the next PM, but not with the current one-party government.

What? According to German media, she intends to leave office. I've checked several sources.

Depends on what you mean with 'leave office'. She'll step back from the current government to have another made - most likely still with her as PM. But of course we can't know exactly what's going to happen. The only slightly possible alternative - given the seat distribution of the election - would be a coalition across the center headed by Løkke, but I can't see why Frederiksen would accept that.

Sounds like the German media doesn't understand the Danish system. Frederiksen hasn't left office. The government has resigned and now they are negotiating. But as Rosin writes, she will most likely stay as PM, but not in the current constellation
