Karoline Lindgaard, the mayoral candidate for green party the Alternative, said: “The Social Democrats have shifted rightward politically, becoming a rightwing populist party on agendas such as integration, unemployment support and the environment.
“This was a cynical strategic manoeuvre to avoid losing voters to the far right, but it seems, based on polling, that all they have done is prime their own voters to join the far right rather than stay with the Social Democrats.”

The Guardian headline is rather stupid, as the ‘center-left’ doesn’t seem like losing it. Just the SD getting replaced after shifting righwards, but I didn’t have a better source on hand.
>Polling earlier this month by Megafon for TV2 had the Green Left (Socialistisk Folkeparti, known as SF), the Red-Green Alliance (Enhedslisten) and the Alternative (Alternativet) in a position to form a left-leaning majority without the support of the Social Democrats.
