For the first time ever, the far-right Danish People's Party (DF) has come out of an opinion poll as the nation's largest party. / If an election were held today, the far-right Danish People's Party (DF) would sweep into power. For the first time ever, DF has topped all other parties in an opinion poll. In the poll, conducted for TV2 and Politiken by Megafon, the anti-immigration party received 21.2 percent of the vote, a massive increase over the 12.3 percent of the vote the party earned in the September 2011 election.

This is a fantastic poll for the Danish People’s Party. But I also know that in the next poll released we’re likely to go back down again,” DF’s party leader, Kristian Thulesen Dahl, told TV2. “We want to have the Danes’ support and we fight for it every single day. And the day that really counts is the day we vote for parliament,” he added.

Dahl said that DF has likely ridden a wave of anti-refugee sentiment. “I don’t think there is any doubt that the asylum debate – that there have come so many of them over the last few months – has clearly affected a lot of Danes’ opinion on what should be done in Christiansborg. And DF has a clear opinion in that area,” he told TV2.

DF’s strong poll results put them ahead of opposition party Venstre, which received 20.9 percent support, as Denmark’s biggest party. Venstre received 26.7 percent of the vote in the 2011 election. The next largest party is ruling coalition partners the Social Democrats. PM Helle Thorning-Schmidt’s party received 19.8 percent support in the Megafon poll, down five full points from the party’s election results.

It’s worth noting that although this was the first time DF has topped an opinion poll, the difference between DF and Venstre was within the poll's 2.6 percent margin of error. The full poll results were as follows, with the parties’ 2011 election results in parentheses.

Danes are Anglo-Saxon now? :lol:

[Leto]

Is it really "far-right"? Even parties like the UKIP are sometimes labeled as far-right, which is ridiculous. I'm familiar with the DPP's program, I'd say it's just nationalistic.

[Furnace]

Danes are Anglo-Saxon now? :lol:

Saxons sure, anglos, nah.

It's essentially what Scandinavian Social Democracy was prior to 1968.

[Hevo]

Saxons sure, anglos, nah.

Danes have admixture from the ancient Angles.

[LightHouse89]

if the far left in america used these tactics we could by law in some states actually shoot them in self defense :cool:

Sweden is lost but maybe the rest of Scandinavia is savable? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ55KyNrO6A

Amazing how governments in Europe let these left wing assholes do whatever they want. My government here is also letting them do it now with the riots and protests.

[LightHouse89]

Danes are Anglo-Saxon now? :lol:

Yes to a degree. You do realize Denmark colonized Britain more than once? :p

[Bjarke]

They are not "far right", but this is nonetheless a good development.

[LightHouse89]

Saxons sure, anglos, nah.

Angles, Jutes were Danes. Saxons northern Germans....maybe southern Danes?

Frisians are the only odd ones out and they also extensively settled the British Islands.

[finþaų]

You do realize Denmark colonized Britain more than once? :p

I guess black South Africans are Anglo-Saxon too then. ;)

what are far right scandinavian parties? i will donate money to save the nordic race :thumb001: my god they need to learn from southern nationalists here and white secessionists.

If by "far right" you mean National socialists opposed to non-white immigration and for the forceful expulsion of racial aliens, we have Svenskarnas Parti here in Sweden.

[Loki]

Saxons sure, anglos, nah.

The other way around lol.

[Smaug]

Saxons sure, anglos, nah.

Rather the opposite. Angles came from what is now Southern Denmark, while Saxons originated in western half Germany.

[Loki]

Danes have admixture from the ancient Angles.

And, even more significant, the areas in England where the Angles settled, became heavily intermixed by the two Danish invasions.

So I'd say Northeast England should be closest to Denmark genetically.

[finþaų]

On point. I wouldn't say that this makes contemporary Danes Angles though, no more than Iraqis are Akkadians.

[StonyArabia]

That's true because English paternal lines are very close to west Germans but the maternal line seems native though.

[Hevo]

Do you mean by North East England (Northumberland, County Durham, Tyne and Wear) or/and the region Yorkshire and the Humber?

[Smaug]

On point. I wouldn't say that this makes contemporary Danes Angles though, no more than Iraqis are Akkadians.

I agree.

[Harris]

True. Moreover, the region is closest to Denmark phenotypically too.


Do you mean by North East England (Northumberland, County Durham, Tyne and Wear) or/and the region Yorkshire and the Humber?

Yorkshire is a large historic county. Despite only North Yorkshire being included in the modern North East region, I'd say Yorkshire in its entirety should be included in the North East if one seeks to break-down England genetically and phenotypically.

[Loki]

Yes.

[Willem]

Most of these populist ''right wing'' groups across Europe are just extreme socialist leftists who dislike foreigners. Calling them right wing is a misnomer.

[LightHouse89]

I guess black South Africans are Anglo-Saxon too then. ;)

No not at all. You do realize there were several places Danes also settled in England and even the coastal cities of Ireland. But I guess blacks in Denmark are the closest to Danes today :rolleyes:

[LightHouse89]

Rather the opposite. Angles came from what is now Southern Denmark, while Saxons originated in western half Germany.

North Western Germany.....but the reality is it would include eastern Netherlands....Saxon lands were also in southern area bordering Denmark. Jutes came from Northern Denmark....Dane is a term that became the name for what is Denmark today from a Germanic tribe in the area...or named after a King? I forget one of those two. East Anglia and the North East of England were heavily settled by Danes.

[LightHouse89]

If by "far right" you mean National socialists opposed to non-white immigration and for the forceful expulsion of racial aliens, we have Svenskarnas Parti here in Sweden.

I support them then. Deport all blacks from Scandinavia!

[Äijä]

They where all tribes bordering the North Sea, I dont see them very different culturally or genetically.

All of Danelaw. Angles settled in Northern England and Saxons in the South. They were never a single people, until the unification of England by Ælfrēd the Great of course.
