She has an unusually robust personality, can make decisions, is good at communicating and likes to be "on" in the media. She has many of the qualities required to make a good prime minister. If that happens, she will grow with the challenge, and she will have the chance to surprise many with her leadership. Thorning can hope that, in her first period as prime minister, she will be surrounded by so much positive media interest that the Danes will look more kindly towards her than today and have more confidence in her skills. It will likely quickly be apparent that it is harder to keep power than it is to win it.

So it will be a triumph for her fellow party members to see their leader become prime minister - and their enthusiasm will be reinforced by the fact that she will be able to write Danish history as the nation's first woman head of government. It goes without saying that Thorning will be celebrated as a heroine by her supporters on election night if the Social Democrats succeed in capturing the Prime Minister's office.įor ten long years the party has been kept out of the corridors of power and been relegated to the opposition benches. If Helle Thorning-Schmidt becomes head of government on Thursday evening - after she has been in the lead for a long time in the opinion polls - a new and different era will begin. It was supported by the Danish People's Party, which has acted as the government's loyal support party and been rewarded by being invited right into the powerhouse by Anders Fogh Rasmussen. In this decade, a Liberal/Conservative government, led first by Anders Fogh Rasmussen i and later by Lars Løkke Rasmussen i, has been in power. That will be the end of an unusual decade in Danish politics where tight immigration policies, the crisis of the controversial cartoons of the prophet Muhammed in the newspaper Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten, and involvement in the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya have changed the outside world's opinion of Denmark. If the trend in the opinion polls holds true, the leader of the Social Democrats, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, will be the new Danish prime minister on Thursday evening (15 September), when all the votes have been counted after an intense and hectic election campaign.

One of Renew Europe's priority for gender equality is to stand up firmly against constant attacks and backlashes on women’s rights, including access to contraception and turn the tide in guaranteeing the rights of all women to safe abortion as a healthcare service.
