COPENHAGEN, 12 April, 2021 (TON): With a vision to connect left and right wings with pragmatic and un-dogmatic voice, Denmark’s former Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen plans to form a new political party.

After losing the 2019 election to the Social Democratic Party, Rasmussen resigned from his center-right Liberal Party in January, also the same year he dethroned as head of his party.

On Sunday, Rasmussen said, “There will be a NEW party with the ambition to become a sensible, pragmatic and un-dogmatic voice in the political debate.”

Danish politics have been dominated by the center-left Social Demokratiet and the center-right Venstre since the end of World War II.

However, it is likely that Rasmussen’s party sets its sights on a position between the two that would potentially upset the 80-year-old order of things.
