Voters rejected rule from the centre in last month’s election – but could end up with another centrist government, says Rune Lykkeberg, editor-in-chief of the Danish newspaper Information
The paradox could be called the tyranny of the 10%: if 45% of voters in a multiparty system want a government to the left and 45% want a government to the right but 10% vote for parties that want to govern from the centre, it will be very difficult for the old blocs to form governments.
And thus, compromise.
