Need a sharp analysis and solid facts about the upcoming elections? Ask the RSG researchers

On 7 May, Prime Minister Lars L?kke Rasmussen announced that the Danish people will choose their next government on 5 June, Danish Constitution Day. The parliamentary election will take place only 10 days after the election for the European Parliament on 26 May.
