Voting & Political Attitudes in Denmark

This is a systematic presentation of Danish political attitudes and voting behaviour. Based on a study of the country’s 1994 election and interviews with 2000 voters, the book also draws on the results of previous elections and surveys of Danish political attitudes and voting choices during the past ten to 20 years. The book describes the political development, seen from the perspective of the voter, of a country that has attracted international attention several times: in reluctant support of NATO and in the European Community referendum. The authors describe the origin and history of the Danish party system, before analyzing the issue of declining class voting and the rise of a new middle class , issues of generational change, and concern about immigration and the environment. Ole Borre is the author of Nepalese Political Behaviour and The Scope of Government .
