30-day average graph[edit]

There's something awry with the graph regarding List D. They haven't scored below 2.2% in the polls in June, yet their 30 day average is 0.1%. Tammbeck (talk) 12:45, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I read the graph wrong. Maybe there's a better way to name the columns? Tammbeck (talk) 12:48, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

'Lead' column and K absence[edit]

Since this edit, the numbers for K (Christian Democrats) have been pushed into the "others" column, and provided as footnotes. The party got 1.7% of the vote in 2019, below the 2% threshold, which means it could be a player the next time. This is almost as much as P (1.8%) and much more than E (0.1%) whose columns are present.

Meanwhile, we have TWO columns called "Lead", one for the party lead and one for the alliances' lead. However, whether a party polling at 23% has +1% or +4% doesn't have much importance in Denmark or in PR democracies in general. What matters is whether the party's alliance is ahead. The presence of the party lead column could be explained by the bias of British or American contributors, who thought it was as important as in their home country, or maybe because the custom on similar articles was kept without much thinking.

I suggest to remove the party lead column, which would give room for K. Kahlores (talk) 15:57, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I restored the Coalition lead column after it was removed. I think it should be maintained in future, so viewers of the page can easily see the coalition lead (and by extension the present political situation in Denmark) rather than having to calculate it themselves.

Thanks for restoring the coalition lead - definitely an improvement. I agree with Kahlores that list K needs to be included, either by deleting the "party lead" column, or by replacing list E. Does anyone know on what basis E is included but not K? K came within 300 votes of parliamentary representation, by qualifying via a direct mandate in West Jutland, and has a history as a government party.

@Tammbeck: The reason why K was deleted is because Voxmeter polls don't include it anymore, therefore you end up with an entire column of basically empty values unless a pollster other than Voxmeter is included. --Spaastm (talk) 21:54, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go ahead and remove the "party lead", since no one seem to argue in favour. I will look at "K" afterwards. NisJørgensen (talk) 15:45, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On what basis are parties like V or C grouped with P under "Blue bloc"?[edit]

Thanks. --Spaastm (talk) 17:48, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What about M? – Kaihsu (talk) 20:58, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, just read any of the sources. There is no ambiguity about the inclusion of individual parties in the blocs. Gbuvn (talk) 16:15, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vegan Party[edit]

A new party has just been added the table, the Vegan Party. What justification is there for placing it where it has been placed on the table? Helper201 (talk) 19:11, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's just my opinion, but the vegan Party platform reflect its eco-socialist nature. Perhaps it could have been placed further to the left, but certainly not in the center. Zwitterione (talk) 08:31, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
