In the exam (Danish)
Hvem bestemmer, hvem der skal danne regering efter et valg?
- aThe Queen.Dronningen.
- bThe Danish Parliament.Folketinget.Correct answer
- cThe courts.Domstolene.
Why?
Denmark has parliamentary government: a government must not have a majority in the Danish Parliament (Folketinget) against it (Constitution, section 15). That is why it is the majority in Parliament that decides who can form a government. The monarch formally appoints the government, but does so on the advice of the parties.
