Party logo

The Danish People's Party (Danish: Dansk Folkeparti) is a right-wing political party in Denmark. However some might characterize it as a conservative nationalist social democracy. In the 2001 parliamentary elections, it took 22 seats out of 179 (an increase of 9 seats), on 12% of the vote, making it the third largest party in Denmark.

The party has an anti-immigration platform and wants Denmark to leave the European Union. They were leaders in opposing the 2000 referendum on membership in the Euro.

The Danish People's Party made its electoral debut in the 1998 Danish parliamentary election winning 13 seats.

It is led by Pia Kjærsgaard. In the European Parliament its single MEP sits as a member of the Union for a Europe of Nations grouping.
