More on Social Democrats
Description from Wikipedia:
The Social Democrats (Socialdemokraterne), is a Danish political party. It is currently the second largest party with 25.5% of votes and 45 seats. Since the Social Democrats were last in government, ending 2001, it is the first time the Social Democrats are not the most popular party since the end of World War II. The party is currently led by Helle Thorning-Schmidt, and it is a member of the Party of European Socialists and the Socialist International. It has five MEPs in the European Parliament, an increase of three after the election in 2004. The increase was mainly supported by the large number of voters who voted for former party leader and Prime Minister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen.
