Danish Peoples Party: Centre Oriented Populists?

Publikation: Bidrag til bog/antologi/rapportBidrag til bog/antologiForskningfagfællebedømt

Danish People’s Party is the successful splinter party of the Progress Party created by Pia Kjærsgaard and collaborators in 1996. Traditional party membership, public financing and a high degree of centralization and party discipline characterize the party organization, while their political program emphasizes less immigration and integration, less EU integration, more law and order, and welfare chauvinism. Their electoral success has affected government formation and policies. They have provided the parliamentary base for a center-right government and gained political concessions in particular on the immigration and integration field. While aiming to become an influential party, they did not enter into government when they became the largest party right of center in 2015. Their marked electoral decline in 2019 leaves a number of questions in regard to future political position and influence.
