With 80% of the votes counted, the Liberal Party "Venstre" obtains a 30.6% of the votes (9.1% in 2001) and 18 seats, two more than so far.
The ultra right-wing party "Dansk Folkeparti" (Danish Popular Party), allied in the Parliament of the Government coalition, lead by Pia Kjaersgaard, a populist housewife knwon among the immigrants as "the Blue Eyes Viper", obtains 24 seats, two more than in 2001, and 13.5% of the votes. This is a result which makes this xenophobe party the third political force in the country, and gives the bourgeoise block of the Liberals, Conservatives, and Ultraright Wingers, a comfortable majority in the Parliament with a total of 55% against the 45% obtained by the parties of the left block.
