Danes vote in knife-edge election

Danes yesterday voted in a knife-edge election with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen fighting for political survival. After a campaign dominated by climate concerns, inflation and healthcare, almost a quarter of voters were still undecided heading into election day, according to polls. Grey skies covered the capital as voting took place with polling stations scheduled to close at 8:00 pm and the first results expected around 9:30 pm. The latest polls gave the left-wing "red bloc", led by Frederiksen, 49.1 percent against 42.4 percent for the "blues", an informal liberal and conservative alliance, supported by three populist parties. With neither bloc set to gain an outright majority, governing will likely depend on support from the Moderates, a centrist party founded only this year by two-time prime minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen.
