As a general rule, what share of the votes must a party get to enter the Folketing?
In the exam (Danish)
Hvor stor en del af stemmerne skal et parti som udgangspunkt have for at komme i Folketinget?
- a5%.5 %.
- b2%.2 %.Correct answer
- c10%.10 %.
Why?
The election threshold (spærregrænsen) is 2% of the valid votes. A party can also get in in other ways, for example by winning a seat in a large constituency (storkreds), but this rarely happens. Because the threshold is low, there are often many parties in the Folketing.
Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in Danish, as shown above.
