Most Danish governments since 1945 have been minority governments. What does this mean for Danish politics?
In the exam (Danish)
De fleste danske regeringer siden 1945 har været mindretalsregeringer. Hvad betyder det for dansk politik?
- aThe government often has to make agreements with parties outside the government to get a majority.Regeringen må tit lave aftaler med partier uden for regeringen for at få flertal.Correct answer
- bThe government can pass most laws on its own without asking the Folketing first.Regeringen kan vedtage de fleste love alene uden at spørge Folketinget først.
- cThe parties that are outside the government have no influence on which laws are passed.Partierne uden for regeringen har ingen indflydelse på, hvilke love der vedtages.
Why?
A minority government does not have a majority in the Folketing on its own. That is why Denmark has a long tradition of agreements between the government and other parties, for example support parties.
