Moderaterne
Placement: Center
The Moderates, the centrist party founded in 2022 by former Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, now foreign minister: the kingmaker after the 2026 election, it chose to stay in government with Frederiksen. Pragmatic reforms across the blocs, tax cuts for the middle class, pro-Europeanism, and strong support for NATO and Ukraine.
In short
On the traditional scale, Moderaterne sits in the center camp. The clearest positions are on foreign policy: strongly towards “interventionism”; religion: strongly towards “secularism”; sovereignty: fairly towards “integration”; democracy: fairly towards “technocracy”. On economy and environment it stays balanced. Among ideologies, the closest is third way (97%).
