Mette Frederiksen has burnished Denmark’s international profile through tougher defence policies and a firmer stance on sovereignty, including in disputes linked to Greenland and tensions with Donald Trump. Yet Martin Krasnik argues that these geopolitical achievements have not translated into strong domestic political support ahead of Denmark’s snap election. Polls suggest her party is heading for historically weak results, as voters remain more focused on economic concerns such as living costs, taxation and public services than on security issues. The contrast highlights a gap between elite priorities shaped by a more volatile global environment and the everyday concerns driving electoral behaviour. Frederiksen is likely to retain power through coalition politics, but with a diminished mandate and a narrower base of support.

Ps. Jeg er ikke på arbejde i dag, og har tid til at skrive en valg-post i dag. Sig til, hvis nogen af jer vil læse den først. Tænker det er brugbart siden valget nok får større opmærksomhed end normalt med Grønland.
